[A staircase inside of Thistle Hill/Wharton-Scott House in Fort Worth]

Photograph of the staircase inside of Thistle Hill/Wharton-Scott House in Fort Worth, located at 1509 Pennsylvania Avenue. The imperial staircase is large, sweeping, and made entirely out of wood. The bannisters are curved with ornately turned posts. The base of the stair widens as the banister curls out in a spiral on either side. The main staircase leads up to a large landing that has two staircases on either side of it, leading up to another floor. The landing has a decorative wall with stained glass detailing and grand crown molding. The molding casts dramatic shadows on the ceiling's decorated edges. To the left of the bottom staircase, an upright piano sits with two lamps attached to it, both turned on. The room to the left has an unlit fireplace. The room to the right of the photo has another unlit fireplace, this one in a different style and made out of brick.
