In this interior close-up of a corner of the Healy House Museum, on the corner of Harrison Avenue and East Tenth Street in Leadville, Colorado, there is a stained glass window behind a pedestal table. The window, a large pane with smaller side panels, is a scene of woods with a mountain in the background and "In Loving Memory, Georgia White and John Alvin Ewing" painted along the bottom. Georgia White's father was one of the lawyers who wrote the State Constitution and also built the first roads over Loveland and Tennessee Passes. John was the son-in-law of George White and member of a pioneer Leadville family. A painted floral globe lamp and a box with a lid, covered with shells, sit on the round stone table in front of the windows. Wooden chairs with carved rounded backs and upholstery are on either side of the table.; The Healy House was built by August Meyer and became the First Methodist Episcopal Church parsonage, then the home of Patrick A. and Ellen Healy Kelly who transferred ownership to her brother, Daniel Healy. Daniel's cousin occupied the house, then donated it to the Leadville Historical Association. It was restored by the National Youth Administration and then presented to the State Historical Society in 1947.
