Mr. and Mrs. Toombs show me the lamps, chandeliers they have cleaned, repaired, and fabricated for installation or reinstallation in the Mansion. Among the restored lamps is a gas lamp, shaped like a Corinthian column, that was found in the Mansion. Lamps for the North and South Porticos have been constructed to resemble the lantern hung in the Entry Portico. The chandeliers have not been completely reassembled yet. |
