The League provided a set of mission style furniture and carpets, as well as a state of the art phonograph. The League's library of phonograph records circulated by mail among the Chapters. Above the fireplace is a plaque of the League symbol, "Woman's Mission" designed by sculptor George Julian Zolnay. A model of the same symbol is in the middle of the table. Since many towns did not yet have electricity, each Chapter was responsible for installing its own lighting system. The Walton Chapter chose an elaborate gas chandelier. They installed a parlor stove to heat the meeting room. | Source | Photograph, mounted on scrapbook paper, 6.67" by 4.62" | Subject | Walton (N.Y.) | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | Subject.Keyword | Furniture, mission | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, Walton, New York - Interior |
