Blane Hogue, executive director of Lougheed House, has launched a campaign to fully interpret the second floor of the house and he has already received a generous donation.

Abbas Keshmiri, president of House of Persian Rugs, is laying a range of historically appropriate rugs throughout the floor, including an 18-foot runner down the hallway; collectively they have a value of some $62,000.

One of the upstairs rooms is used for weddings; its new Iranian carpet adds so much to the splendour of the house.
