The Master Bedroom

Most of the furnishings in this first floor master bedroom belonged to the family. The bed and dresser are labeled Berkey & Gay pieces and are black walnut with painted burl panels. A candlewick bedspread covers the bed and illustrates Victorian handwork of the 1880s. A Staffordshire toilet set c. 1895 replaces the Cappon family set which was not found among the original artifacts. The wicker cradle was used by the children of Isaac and Jacoba in the 1890s.

There is a nursery adjoining the master bedroom with the bathroom, but it is now used as storage space and is not pictured.
