Scope and content
Parts of Thornewood's interior came from an original Elizabethan style house in England; materials were obtained from this facility and shipped to the United States via Cape Horn. Interior view of Thornewood, alcove of dining room with beautiful credenza holding a silver serving dish. The arched windows allow for natural lighting of the room, view of carved detailed ceiling. Also seen clearly are the magnificent crystal glass windows. The windows throughout the house contain more than 100 works of stained glass crafted in the 1500's. The works of art are purportedly part of a collection of an English duke, who spent 40 years collecting them, purchased by Chester Thorne.
