| Description: | The Campbell's 1898 home provided full bathrooms for family and guests, but historic photographs also show the use of wash stands, water pitchers and washbowls in the bedrooms themselves. Both bathrooms and wash stands were furnished with linen or cotton towels, likely monogrammed "C" like these Campbell linen hand towels. |
