The meticulously restored 1892 Victorian mansion with original contents chronicles Deadwood’s transition from a raucous mining camp into a prosperous and technologically rich city. The home recounts the triumphs and tragedies of two of Deadwood's founding families. The Queen Anne-style home was built by pioneer businessman Harris Franklin, complete with stained glass windows, thoroughly modern 19th-century plumbing and electricity, hand-painted canvas wall coverings, and telephone service. W.E. Adams purchased the home in 1920, and after his death in 1934, Adams’ second wife, Mary, closed the doors.

I enjoyed the tour so much. Our tour guide told us the type of tile around the fireplace in the first sitting room. I can't remember what kind he said it was. Can you tell me. I loved it!
A:
The tiles are majolica. I loved them because of the colors and the birds. Hope this helps!
