Scope and content
Sunlight streams through the large picture windows into the dining room of the home of Dr. William B. and Myrtle McNerthney at 24 Summit Rd. The walls are very bright and bold with rose wallpaper. Oriental style rugs grace the wood floors. A cuckoo clock adorns a wall in the room and prism crystals hang from the chandelier over a lace draped dining table. Potted houseplants make use of the sunshine. The colonial style home was built in 1940. The Mcnerthney's home would be on display as part of the first annual Home Tour on 6/18/1955.
