Main Stair with Paneled Wainscot, Curtis Woodwork (1926)

A page from the 1926 Curtis Woodwork catalog titled 'The Stair—Autocrat of the Interior', showing a main staircase with a paneled wainscot, newel and balusters.

In Denver Squares and Foursquares, the stair is usually the first thing seen on entering. Curtis illustrated it as the 'autocrat of the interior', with a newel post, square balusters and a paneled wainscot following the stair up the wall. A paneled stair wainscot is one of the most effective ways to add character to an entry hall.
