The drapes shown in many of the photos below are a recent addition. The reproduction drapes are accurate in terms of material, color and pattern.
The stenciling shown in photos near the bottom are accurate reproductions in terms of color and pattern - but not material. Originally, the walls were covered with flock wallpaper. Special permission from SHPO had to be given in order for Shea's to retain its National Trust of Historic Preservation listing. The justification for the exemption was based on prohibitive cost and the option that future renovation might include flock wallpaper on a stenciled - not damaged - surface.
Restoration Manager Doris Collins has supervised 6,000 square feet of stenciling.
