The focus of this blog is 19th- and early 20th-century residential interiors in Upstate New York as documented in period photographs, paintings, prints, and drawings. The scope encompasses the interiors of primarily upper-class and middle-class homes in the northeastern, central, and western parts of New York. The period views document the furnishing practices and decorative styles of the 19th century while revealing details about the lives of the people who once occupied these domestic spaces.
