I possess a partiality for irregular houses, when you go up and down steps, out of one room into another and when you come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there are, and where then is a bountiful provision of little halls & passages, and where you find older rooms in unexpected places with lattice windows and green growth pressing through them.

Thermometer
c. 1888
This table top bronze thermometer has two two saints under intricate Gothic arches. William H. Sewardy II possibly acquired this during his trip to Europe in 1888.
