| Trinkets recovered from Parsonage wall during remodeling 2013 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |

|  Trinkets recovered from Parsonage wall during remodeling 2013 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Trinkets or toys. Collection of four small, wooden items recovered from the debris of the wall from the north-facing fireplace along with four concealed shoes (2013.252.1979) during the 2013 remodeling of the Great Cranberry Congregational Church parsonage house (177 Cranberry Road). Miniature boat hull: wood, 3 ¼" long x 1 and 1/8" wide x ½" deep; Spool: wood, 2" diameter x ½" thick; center hole is ½" diameter; Tube: wood, 1 ¾" wide x 2 ½" high, with ½" diameter hole drilled through center; Semi-circle: wood, 5 ½" long x 2 ¾" wide x ¼" thick with black, stamped letters: 'SCHUYKILL LEAD C[?] EXTRA'; half of a circular lid with a hole in the center. The shoes and wooden trinkets would have been intentionally concealed between the stud wall and the brick of the fireplace on the first floor ca. 1840. These items were found under the demolition rubble against the inside of the stud wall that had surrounded the fireplace on the first floor when the chimney was being removed. The four shoes date stylistically to 1820-1830s, likely hidden inside the wall by Enoch Spurling's family when the house was constructed ca. 1840. The shoes and trinkets were repatriated to a spot in the new decorative chimney in October 2013 along with three other modern items in a plastic 'File 'n Go' carry case with latching lid. The three modern items are: one pink-and-white flip-flop sandal with “2013” written on it; one church roster; one church bulletin; and the initial report from the GCIHS about finding the concealed shoes and trinkets. (See also 2013.252.1980 - remnants of shoes from the kitchen crawlspace; 2013.252.2000 - metal implements; 2013.252.2001 - wooden implements; and the report of parsonage house research - 2015.304.2062.)

The health and educational reform principles of adequate light and ventilation are clearly incorporated with ample windows in each room. The elements of design are typical for this type of Colonial revival composition. A rusticated base is topped with a solid and strong masonry brick Facade. It is further punctuated with groupings of large windows all painted a light color. This composition is capped with a strong projecting cornice. The brick details and limestone accents are nicely balanced [show more] | |||
