The Sun Room

A major alteration during the 1919 remodeling was the
creation of the sun room from what had been an open porch. The draperies,
a morning glory and trellis pattern, were chosen to bring a sense of the
outdoors inside. Another Priscilla Turner rug in use here was originally
made for the State Dining Room. Furnishings of special interest include
the granite fireplace, the large antique brass woodbox, and an Empire
sofa flanked by end tables. Hanging over the fireplace is an 1887 painting
by Agnes M. Leavitt of a Victorian summer cottage on Peaks Island in Casco
Bay.
