The Spalding house has been renovated numerous times and most recently in 2022 in order to allow us to host our guests at Martha's Bed and Breakfast.
The interior of the Spalding House contains a variety of fine-quality woodwork. The choice of materials likely was influenced by Frank Spalding's ownership of numerous lumberyards in and around the state of Nebraska. Upon entering the home via the front entrance, one passes through the vestibule with a tiled floor and enters the central hall. The oak front door contains a large sculpted-bronze panel of two leaping deer in floral surroundings. The panel is removable to that it can be replaced in winter with glass. The central hall itself is composed of oak flooring and wainscoting, and terminates in the grand semicircular stair which leads up to the second floor. Through oak and mahogany pocket doors on either side of the central hall are the living room and library. The living room contains a white marble fire place along with highly-ornamental wood moldings and trim. The library features a glazed-brick fireplace, built-in oak and beveled glass bookcases, and an oak-beamed ceiling. Through an arched entryway, just off the library, is the dining room. It continues the same oak-beamed ceiling detail of the library and contains a built-in oak buffet along the north wall. Among the other rooms on the first floor are the kitchen, the butler's pantry, and a hallway accessing the carriage-porch entrance.
The second floor of the Spalding House is primarily occupied by five large bedrooms. Of these, the west two bedrooms contain fire places which make use of same chimneys as the fireplaces in the library and living room below. A walk-out sleeping porch are also contained on the second floor. After the recent renovation each bedroom now contains their own full bathroom. This level of the residence contains much the same kind of fine wood flooring and trim as the first floor. The second floor is furnished with Louis the XVI style furnitures and other antiques decors.
Above the second floor is a half-story attic level. It is accessed by a secondary stairway near the rear of the house. Following the recent renovation there is a small living space thats attached to three separate bedroom with Art-deco Furnitures.
