4Photos 23-28 were professionally shot for Edith Tunis Sale's Colonial Interiors: Southern Colonial and Early Federal, Second Series (New York: William Helburn, 1930). Their purpose was to illustrate an early, spare, almost Shakersesque interior that contrasts with the more elaborate Georgian and neoclassical rooms that fill most of the book's pages. One has the impression that the furnishings have been adjusted slightly to maintain the spare appearance, although the living room is allowed a degree of clutter. Sale calls it the Digges House and dates it c. 1710. Sale does not explain that the woodwork is new.
