Dear Bronwen,

The Otis House in Boston (part of SPNEA) just opened a new room reflecting
when it was a boarding house.

Subject: Interpreting boarders


Fellow museums -
Our summer intern is working on an interpretive plan for one room in our
historic house.  We are looking for museums that interpret space,
preferrably a bedroom for boarders or renters in the late 19th or early 20th
century.  Even better, if you interpret a space for employees (but not
servants) who were given room and board as part of their wages.

If you are willing to share information, particularly a bibliography for her
research, please contact us off list.

Thank you.

Bronwen Anderson
Executive Director
