The Cane Acres Plantation House of Summerville, South Carolina, was a grand, two-story structure resting on a high brick foundation. The swampy land made it necessary to raise the rooms above the flood level, and the hot, humid climate dictated plenty of windows to catch the breeze. The dining room of the house exemplifies the Federal style in its furnishings, restrained architectural detail, and unified taste.

Provenance: Property from the Brooklyn Museum
Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000
Historical Note:
Matthew Clarkson Jr. descended from a long-established New York family. His father, Revolutionary War hero General Matthew Clarkson (1758-1825), was the first President of the Bank of New York. Clarkson Jr. earned his fortune in the cotton trade and acquired the land on which he constructed his house through his wife’s family.
Matthew Clarkson Jr. House and Interiors
When Clarkson Jr. built a monumental three-story Greek Revival house in the grand style of the moment, he demonstrated sophisticated cultural awareness befitting a prominent and prosperous citizen. Situated on verdant landscaped grounds, the house resembled a Grecian temple with front and rear porticos and was long considered “the most showy place in Flatbush,” standing out from the surrounding shingled Dutch-style residences.
The central entrance on the ground floor opened into a hall with a spiral staircase at the rear. On either side of the hall, rooms with windows at the front, back and along the sides of the house were accessed via four symmetrically opposing doors. The house remained in the Clarkson family until 1889. In 1940, the Flatbush Y.M.C.A. donated the interior woodwork from the hall and south parlor to the Brooklyn Museum after a fire damaged a majority of the building.
The architectural woodwork on offer, of which select elements have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Newark Museum, sustained minimal damage and includes: massive mahogany doors measuring more than 8 feet high; pine door frames with pediments, some applied with carved foliate and berry wreaths; fluted columns more than 11 feet high; pilasters with Corinthian capitals; monumental window frames with interior and exterior shutters; trim and moldings; a spiral staircase; and a marble mantel with caryatids.

Historical Note:
In about 1780, Revolutionary War private and sergeant Abraham Harrison (1751-1832) purchased farmland in Camptown, later Irvington, New Jersey from the estate of his father-in-law, where he built his house.
Abraham Harrison House and Interiors
By designing his home in the fashionable neoclassical style, Harrison demonstrated sophisticated cultural awareness befitting a prosperous citizen. A 1924 photograph of the house-front provided evidence for an artist’s rendition of the structure with the main entrance hall and stairway to the left and the adjoining parlor and dining room to the right (figs. 1-3). Originally, these rooms displayed distinctive parallel curved walls at the end of the parlor, through which the dining room was entered via a doorway, and at the far wall of the dining room. Each room had four double-hung windows and a fireplace with a mantel.
In 1924, the house was demolished as a result of redevelopment. Over the years the rooms were reinterpreted several times, hence the inclusion of carpeting and curtains (see title images and fig. 4). The Harrison rooms were deinstalled in 2004.

McKim, Mead and White Designed, Adams House Architectural Elements, Marble Wood formerly located at 455 Madison Avenue, New York, New York and part of the Villard Houses at 451-457 Madison Avenue, circa 1882-84, elements from the stair hall and entrance foyer, mahogany paneled stair hall; stairway; landing with overlook; second floor landing; oval balustrade wood beams; molding; wainscotting; trim parquetry wood floor; mahogany doors; marble fireplace mantel; marble panels from entrance foyer; plaster ceiling reliefs; hardware, approximate size 14 ft. wide x 31 ft. long, in varying states of preservation, please see photographs
Provenance: Property from the Brooklyn Museum
Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000
Historical Note:
A New York City Gilded Age interior with luxurious Italian Renaissance revival-style mahogany architectural woodwork, plaster reliefs and richest marble fireplace mantel and entrance foyer paneling. The immersive interior originates from the no longer extant Edward Dean Adams house formerly located at 455 Madison Avenue in New York City.
The Adams house was part of the Villard Houses, a monumental Italian palazzo- style complex of six opulent residences designed and built between 1882-84 by the renowned firm of McKim, Mead and White for railroad magnate Henry Villard (1835-1900) (fig. 1). This exquisitely-carved woodwork and associated elements have never been installed. The condition is as found when the Museum received them as a gift when the Villard Houses were repurposed and joined with the newly constructed Palace Hotel.
Edward Dean Adams (1846-1931) purchased 455 Madison Avenue in 1883, when Villard went bankrupt and sold the entire residential complex. Descended from the prominent family of President John Adams, Edward Dean Adams worked as lawyer, financier and engineer in turn. 455 Madison Avenue remained in the family until 1922.
Edward Dean Adams House and Interiors
Approached via a marble-lined vestibule, one entered the Adams residence into a gleaming mahogany-paneled stair hall with a contrasting parquetry wood floor designed by Francis Bacon for A.H. Davenport in collaboration with McKim, Mead and White, the leading architectural firm in the United States during the late 19th century. Plain paneled lower walls supported a blind arcade enriched with artist James Fosdik’s pyrographic or fire-etched designs of fluted demilunes and scrolling foliage on the upper walls. A rich, mottled marble mantel centered the wall to the right of the entrance. A staircase with turned baluster spindles, landings and an overlook was visible on-axis from the entrance. The ceiling featured a central oval oculus with balustrade enframed by panels enclosing foliate ornament and roundels. During the 1940s, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York steadily acquired many of the Villard residences for use as office space and housing for clergy members, and by 1949 had purchased the Adams house. In 1974, Harry B. Helmsley negotiated with the Archdiocese to redevelop the Villard Houses as part of the newly constructed Palace Hotel. To preserve a historic interior, Helmsley gave the stair hall from 455 Madison Avenue to the Brooklyn Museum in 1980.
