The Headquarters Committee

The Georgian Revival Design by Architect Richard Henry Dana, was completed in 1930. It serves as a museum house of which we are justifiably proud. It is a composite of the fine American architectural details found in New England and the South reflecting our American history at this time. The committee offers a congenial opportunity to educate, inspire membership as well as allowing others to visit our collections on special occasions. Public and private school children are a regular part of our educational opportunities during the school year. This committee meets once a month, and is in charge of  upkeep, maintenance, preservation, acquisitions, design concepts of the building, grounds and interiors in the most stylish examples of authenticity of the period. The membership consists of certain other committee chairs, collectors and members trained, still practicing or teaching in the Classical style. Also included are members and scholars concerned with the appropriate concepts and all aspects of the period in architecture, the fine and decorative arts, antiques, and stylish details, including fashion.  Sources appropriate to the work required are appreciated in "the vocabulary" of this Committee, and it is inspiring to see the coordination of the whole, as one would find in a well-ordered residence of the Georgian Period.
