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 Another Priscilla Turner rug in use here was originally made for the State Dining Room.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 wood box, 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.
