Revolutionary: Award Winning Guest Suite, "After"
The award-winning Pennsylvania Room is a guest bedroom suite at Anderson House, headquarters of the Society of the Cincinnati, the oldest continuing historical organization in the United States of America. Vintage open arm occasional chairs in a Philadelphia style were purchased and reupholstered in a Thibaut fabric. The custom quilted bedspread is also in a Thibaut fabric. The colors and style of the room were inspired by the portrait of Col. Edward Butler over the fireplace. Col. Butler was an officer in the Pennsylvania line, and one of the founding members of the Pennsylvania Society of the Cincinnati. This portrait is reproduced from an original larger portrait in the Anderson House collection, and custom framed. The Oriental rug was added to the room as a part of the redesign. Birch logs transform what had been a black hole of a fireplace, in black marble and original to the room, and add depth to the room. A Wedgwood Franklin blow, and commemorative plate with Philadelphia architectural landmarks help tell the story in this room. Bob Narod, Photographer, LLC
