| Physical Description: | Brass fireplace fender with coved base and Lyre uprights that incorporate three inverted bell florals, a Tudor rose and a center cartouche of curvilinear and floral motifs. |
| Description: | By the late 19th century, many large homes featured a form of central heating; in the Campbells new 1898 home, a wood-fired boiler sent hot water through radiators under the floors of the main public spaces. Fireplaces throughout the house provided additional heat until 1916 when the family extended the radiator system throughout their large home. Each fireplace held andirons, and sometimes a hearth fender, chosen to match the room's design theme. This brass fender for the guest bedroom complemented the room's andirons and its light fixtures. |
