The front and back parts of Glenmore are actually two houses connected by a hallway. The back section of the house, seen in the left side of this photo, is called "Doll Town."

House viewed from north side of yard

The main house contains fifteen rooms: downstairs rooms have 15½-foot ceilings, and the upstairs rooms' ceilings are 16 feet high. "Doll Town," a smaller replica of the main part of the house, contains twelve smaller rooms. This is where residents usually spent winters because the rest of the house was too hard to heat.

One of the most beautiful points in the house is the graceful, winding staircase, with its broad steps and landings. A Jarnagin descendant remembered that children were never allowed to slide down the front banisters, so they slid down the back steps. A similar staircase connects three stories of "Doll Town."
