Discover the Winterthur Period Rooms (Discover Winterthur)

By Pauline Eversmann

Book Overview

Explaining why he created 175 period rooms after inheriting his family home at Winterthur, Henry Francis DuPont wrote, "I didn't believe the early-American arts and crafts had been given the recognition they deserved, so I assembled examples of architecture, furniture, and widely divergent early-American materials of all sorts to show America as it had been."
