  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

Although praise is a constant theme, only the first five Poems Praise the resPective Patron and lord of Penshurst, while the remaining Poems Praise the exemplary Sidneys of bygone days, including Sir Philip and Dorothy (Sacharissa) Sidney. This shift in praise coincides with and is largely due to the gradual shift in literary economy: from the Patronage system to the literary marketPlace.

  • EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I Do Not Suppose
    EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I do not suppose many people in Penshurst will know me – or remember me, but my name is still just visible on the board over the entrance to the Post Office (formerly The Forge): I am described as SMITH & COACH BUILDER, Agent for agricultural implements. How much longer that inscription will last I cannot imagine, having been painted more than 100 years ago. Illustration by kind permission of Richard Wheatland www.richardwheatland.com Allow me to introduce myself: my name is John Ephraim SKINNER. I was born in November, 1872, at Wadhurst, East Sussex, the eldest son of a couple of farm workers. My father, Thomas, was a ploughman; my mother was just 20 years old when I was born. To be the eldest of 13 children gives anyone some position in life, and so it is no surprise that I grew up feeling rather responsible, not to say patronising towards my younger brothers and sisters. Look at me in the photograph, which I reproduce here. I could not help wearing a suit and butterfly collar – it was prescribed for me, but I did not object. Mind you – it was Sunday wear: we are in the days when everyone had to attend church, and had to dress formally – collar and tie, waistcoat, boots. How on earth do you think an agricultural worker and his wife could feed and clothe such a large family on their pathetic income? I cannot remember passing down clothes to younger boys when I outgrew them; I cannot ever remember having new clothes bought for me.

  • A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Montrose Park
    A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF MONTROSE PARK Montrose Park Historic District Association Our mission is to promote, preserve, and beautify the Montrose Park Historic District, maintain its integrity, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Montrose Park Historic District Association is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) MONTROSE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSOCIATION This walking tour celebrates the rich architectural heritage concentrated in South Orange and particularly in the Montrose Park neighborhood, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. This tour doesn’t cover every house but highlights some of the more interesting homes in a structured leisurely walk that you can complete in about an hour. MPHDA thanks Janet Foster, a historic preservation consultant, for her assistance in curating the stops on this walk and for the written commentary, both about the houses featured and the development of the area we call Montrose Park. Walking instructions are in RED; Individual house addresses are in bold. BEGIN THE TOUR IN GROVE PARK, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GROVE ROAD AND RALSTON AVENUE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE ORIGINS OF MONTROSE PARK In the mid-19th century, the Oranges were both traditional farming communities and emerging “resort” areas. “Mountain Station” was established by the 1840s along the Morris & Essex Railroad to serve the Mountain House, a fashionable hotel and spa located on the hill behind the Mountain Station. It advertised that South Orange and the hill to its west made it the “Switzerland of America”. Clearly, most people visiting had not been to Switzerland, or had even seen the Rockies.
