The Spiral Staircase

In 1887, 10 years after the staircase was completed that an artisan named Philip Auguste Hesh added the railing. Safety appears to have been a concern at the outset since there was originally no railing. One 13 year old sister who was among the first to ascend to the loft told how she and her friends were so frightened absent to railing that they came down on hands and knees. Their staircase apparently connected only with wooden pegs has two 360 degree turns.
