RESOURCE GUIDE #11

Imported Items

The following items were all imported from another country or state for use at the Governor's Mansion during the nineteenth century.

The marble in the fireplace mantel in the Ladies Parlor on the main floor was imported from New England.
The doorknobs on the main floor are original to the Mansion and are made from Sheffield Silver and were imported from England.
The bed warmer located in the banquet kitchen is made of English pewter and was imported from England in the nineteenth century. This particular item was probably not used in the Mansion itself, but it is a good example of items imported during the nineteenth century.
