. Macomber's description of the library
is as follows:

_Mr. Macomber_: Now this room--the library--is a designed
room.

_Mr. Netherton_: By you, do you mean?

_Mr. Macomber_: Yes.

_Mrs. Netherton_: Do you know what the room was before?

_Mr. Macomber_: Well, it was really plain.

_Mrs. Netherton_: Is this an Adam mantelpiece?

_Mr. Macomber_: You could call this an Adam mantel,
although it's not truly. It's a mantel of about 1790....
This wood came from an old tavern near Peace Cross in
Maryland. The building was torn down to make way for a
large shopping center. This is all designed. This is a
design of my own with the little dovetails which are a
little affectation of mine. [Pointing to the entryway
between the library and central hall.] At least part of
this stair was original. The newel post and the balusters
and the paneling under the first run of the stair are
original, and the sheathing from that point up into the
hall is a design, and was made right on the job by our
carpenters.

_Mrs. Netherton_: Did you lengthen these windows to the
floor?

_Mr. Macomber_: They were this way when we got the house,
but they had been changed some time prior to 1942.

_Mrs. Netherton_: The cupboard was part of the design, was
it not?

_Mr. Macomber_: Yes, it was, and I think this is one of
the panels that came from Pennsylvania.... [Also] the
paneled jamb from the library down into the living room
came from this old building in Lancaster County
[Pennsylvania]. And also the trim around the opening.

The renovator's description of the dining room included the
following comments:

_Mr. Macomber_: The mantel is a mantel of the period, and
I'm quite sure it was in this room. The butterfly cupboard
beside it is a design that was added to the room, and
designed and built and installed for this particular
location. The dining room, being a small room, we planned
the recess beside the fireplace for the sideboard and also
to give a little more space in the room and in the pant
