Mrs. Duff's Bedroom

Moving through the eggplant bathroom, enter Mrs. Duff's Bedroom, with its original furnishings. Beatrice Marceau Duff (1889 – 1987) is pictured in the large portrait over the mantel and her husband, Mark Duff’s (1891 – 1967) photograph is on the dresser. The furniture, lamps, rug, comforter, and watered silk bed hangings are original. The dressing table has been restored, using the silk fabric from a bolt discovered in the attic storage area. The purposely extra-long drapes were fashioned from a similar fabric woven in France. The dressing table items are silver. In the closet are some of her clothes and accessories. Beatrice had a large collection of hats, many of which were made locally at Loretta’s.
