The dining room with pretty potential is in a 1917 house in Roanoke, Virginia. More specifically, it's in the stately Old Southwest neighborhood on an avenue named for a land grant given by King George III of England. You know, The Madness of King George? That guy. 

This Old House has named it among the Best Old House neighborhoods twice, saying:

 In recent years, as downtown Roanoke has been revitalized, so too has Old Southwest, which appeals to newcomers who appreciate well-crafted houses with expansive porches and classic columns.
