The “blue parlor” 
has its walls cov¬ 
ered with a jaded 
blue damask and is 
filled with an. inter¬ 
esting collection of 
old Frefich and En¬ 
glish furniture of the 
18th Century. Ex¬ 
perts have consid¬ 
ered the tapestry 
covered settee to be 
an original Adam, 
although its likeness 
to Louis XVI is so 
pronounced as to 
remind us that the 
French and English 
freely borrowed one 
another’s cabinet- 
makeis during this 
period of furniture 
evolution 
The drawhig room 
has plain painted 
gray walls with 
Chinese yellow 
hangings lined with 
mauve. These hang¬ 
ings are quite old. 
From them the col¬ 
or scheme of the 
room was evolved. 
Most of the furni¬ 
ture has been in the 
family for genera¬ 
tions and the cov¬ 
erings are either in 
yellow or mauve 
with a bit of blue- 
green here and there. 
Preserved in excel¬ 
lent condition, they 
give this room a 
comfortable distinc¬ 
tion
