Fountain Elms - Bedroom
Bedroom - Fountain Elms - first floor - Houses in the Italianate Villa style sometimes included a first floor bedroom in their designs like this one in Fountain Elms. Many of the family's original furnishings from the 1850s were disposed of either as a result of changing styles during the house's years of occupation or during its decades as an art museum, so high style antique furniture was purchased from Upstate homes to fill the interior of this room. There are some exquisite pieces on display in this room such as the two vintage Victorian button-back side arm matching chairs you see in the center. The elaborate canopy over the bed is rather unique. The marble mantel came from a house in Canandaigua, NY and was installed as part of the 1960 restoration. Notice the wood fireplace screen with the floral tapestry needlework. Fountain Elms is part of the Munson-Williams- Proctor Arts Institute, located at 310 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. (158)
