The second floor yellow bedroom is divided into a sitting and sleeping area. This was the guest bedroom. Bradstreet selected his favorite "dull yellow" with white furniture and woodwork for it. He created an elegant design of flower palmettes around the walls and above the doorways, and placed favrile wall sconces throughout the room. In 1904, William Martin Prindle (1861-1944) and Mina Merrill Prindle (1864-1963) chose William Hunt of the firm Palmer, Hall, and Hunt, as the architect of their new Duluth home built in 1905 at 2211 Greysolon Road. Mina chose William A. French and John Bradstreet to decorate the interiors. One of Bradstreet's most important commissions was the Duluth Prindle house.
