Furniture. Rocking chair with swivel tray. Wood. Original black rocker with gold scroll work on seat and back has been modified with addition of a swiveling, wooden tray affixed to the chair arms. Rocker blades may have been shortened. Rocker may have had a signature, Stanley, visible on it at one time. Phil Whitney recollects in 2015 that this rocker was rescued from his family's house (across the street from his present home) during their house fire. It may have been his mother's rocker (d.o.b. 1911), or perhaps his great great grandmother Sidney Hamor Bunker who died in 1918, or his great grandmother, Julia Bunker Spurling.

Wallpaper, three remnants of wallpaper (A), (B), and (C), from the Dowling/Meyers house recovered from under the floor during renovations in 2000. (This house was previously owned by Edith Drury and Sam Chapman and dates to ca. 1840.) Remnant A: (10" L x 5.5" W) the top layer is a beige, textured felt-like daffodil-and-leaf pattern of yellow, red, blue, brown, and green with a striped border piece applied at one edge. One corner lifts up to reveal two earlier layers of wallpaper. The middle (second) layer is yellowish-green with gold lines. The bottom (third) layer is a bright greenish wallpaper pattern on linen backing. (The bottom layer of Remnant A matches Remnant C and the middle layer of Remnant B.) Remnant B: (9.5 L x 3.5" W) is the same as the top layer of Remnant A, and has one sub-layer visible at corner. This sub-layer is a greenish tan pattern of plants on paper with linen backing and matches Remnant C. Remnant C: (11" L x 5" W) is a green and gold clover, flower, fleur-de-lis, textured pattern with linen backing. There are no sublayers on Remnant C. (See 1000.27.734 for matching wall paper from the nearby Ladies Aid building.)
