The Saint Louis 1851 Campbell House Museum Cook's Bedroom,

Nice wood furniture for a Cook.

Since the Camp­bells did not pho­to­graph many of the rooms in the ser­vants’ wing of the house (includ­ing the kitchen and ser­vants’ liv­ing quar­ters), the Campbell Foundation was able to inter­pret these rooms the best they could, based on the orig­i­nal floor­plan of the house.  The housekeeper’s bed­room has always been staged as a bed­room, but the cook’s bed­room — which had pre­vi­ously housed an exhibit on the ser­vants — has now been pre­sented as a bed­room.  Thanks to a bequest from one of the members, a beau­ti­ful set of fur­ni­ture of the style, period and qual­ity that would have been in a servant’s bed­room in a house like this was given. 

Compared to New York Servant's Quarters, 

the Campbell's Servant's Bedrooms looks pretty nice.

The Docent pointed out photographs as part of the tour.

Nice wood furniture compared to metal frames.

Can you imagine having all of your possessions in a trunk and in a few drawers?

Hope you are having a pleasant Spring,
