An unpretentious old house in Fayette, Missouri, has an amazing interior. Start on p. 40 of the National Register registration form for the Edwin and Nora Payne Bedford House to see what I'm talking about. Edwin was a banker who did woodcarving as an avocation.
Some of his work put me in mind of the Bily Clocks although Mr. Bedford had better taste. The Bily Clocks museum doesn't allow picture-taking so you don't really get a good feel for the clocks from their website.
