Eliza Jumel Room - Morris Jumel Mansion


Eliza Jumel Room at the Morris-Jumel Mansion.
This was by far my favorite room in the Morris-Jumel Mansion.
I could stare at it for hours, and well...I did when I volunteered there.

You've heard me mention plans for a future baby girl's room.
This room is my inspiration.


Madame Eliza Jumel's bedchamber, redecorated in the 1830's, features a bed Madame Jumel claimed had belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte. The site, located in Roger Morris Park, is owned by the City of New York.
65 Jumel Terrace at 160th Street New York, NY

It reminds me of something you'd see at Versailles.
