Description |
James Duncan, Jr. House, mantel and furniture, exhibited in a gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The mantel is on the left, with two chairs and settee upholstered in striped fabric. The far wall has scenic wallpaper depicting what looks like a hunt scene, not from the original house. A few other pieces of furniture against the walls. A longcase clock is on the left of the door in the far wall. A framed painting of a ship is above the mantel shelf. The house was built circa 1800 on Main Street. Printed caption: "The 'Parlor' from Haverhill, Massachusetts - Third Period." Printed at bottom left: "The Ladies' Home Journal Print, Copyright." Inscription on verso: "From Eagle House." An article circa 1911 states the house was converted to a hotel by Col. William Brown, the Eagle House, some years after the death of James Duncan, Jr., in 1822; other sources give the date as 1819. This exhibit is now called The Haverhill Room. Color photomechanical print from Ladies' Home Journal. Print is 19 x 23 cm mounted on cardboard 26 x 36 cm. Housed with Historical Photographic Print Collection. See similar print HS1.1 Senter HPH 34-460C. |
