Description
Photo of the interior of the Sparks' home - called "Ercildoune" after the town in Scotland where Dr. Thomas Sparks was born.

Ercildoune was originally built as a wedding gift to George Carter's daughter Charlotte when she married Henry Lincoln Rice in 1880. The home is built in the Second Empire style, a very rare style of home in St. Marys or any other small town. The Sparks' family lived in this home from about 1905 into the 1950s.
