Bryn Mawr College Deanery
The Bryn Mawr College Deanery was the campus residence of the first Dean and second President of Bryn Mawr College, Martha Carey Thomas, who maintained a home there from 1885 to 1933. Under the direction of Thomas, the Deanery was greatly enlarged and lavishly decorated for entertaining the college's important guests, students, and alumnae, as well as Thomas’ own immediate family and friends.〔Merriam, Ruth.''A History of the Deanery'' (Bryn Mawr, PA, 1965) pp. 4–5, 10–24.()〕〔Sander, Kathleen W. ''Mary Elizabeth Garrett: Society and Philanthropy in the Gilded Age''(Baltimore, MD, 2008) p. 205.〕
From its origins as a modest five room Victorian cottage, the Deanery grew into a sprawling forty-six room mansion which included design features from several notable 19th and 20th century artists. The interior was elaborately decorated with the assistance of the American artist Lockwood de Forest and Louis Comfort Tiffany, de Forest's partner in the design firm Tiffany & de Forest, supplied a number of light fixtures of Tiffany glass.〔Mayer, Roberta. ''Lockwood de Forest, Furnishing the Gilded Age with a Passion for India'' (Newark, DE, 2008) pp. 180–181.〕 De Forest's design of the Deanery's so-called 'Blue Room' is particularly important as it is often considered one of the best American examples of an Aesthetic Movement interior, alongside the Peacock Room by James Abbott McNeill Whistler.〔(Merriam, Ruth.''A History of the Deanery'' (Bryn Mawr, PA, 1965) p. 14 )〕 In addition, John Charles Olmsted, of the Olmsted Brothers landscape design firm, designed a garden adjacent to the Deanery, which also contained imported works of art from Syria, China, and Italy.〔Merriam, Ruth.''A History of the Deanery'' (Bryn Mawr, PA, 1965) p. 5, 20.()〕〔Andropogon Associates. ''Bryn Mawr College Campus Heritage Preservation Initiative. Reports and Plans. Book 1'' (2004) p. 18. () Accessed 22 May 2014〕 The Deanery’s beauty and rich history established the Deanery as a cherished space on campus and an icon of Bryn Mawr College.〔Andropogon Associates. ''Bryn Mawr College Campus Heritage Preservation Initiative. Reports and Plans. Book 1'' (2004) p. 18. () Accessed 21 May 2014〕
From 1933 until 1968, the Deanery served as the Alumnae House for Bryn Mawr College.〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) p.306.〕 The building was demolished in the spring of 1968 to make space for the construction of Canaday Library, which stands on the site today.〔'"Campus to Lose Landmark But Traditions Will Remain." ''Main Line Times.'' (Ardmore, PA) February 29, 1968.〕 At the time of its demolition, many of the Deanery's furnishings were re-located to Wyndham, an 18th-century farmhouse (with several later additions) which became the college's new Alumnae House.〔Bryn Mawr College. "Alumnae Association Moves from Deanery to Wyndham," ''The College News'', Vol. 53, No. 1. Bryn Mawr, PA (September 16, 1967) ()〕
== M. Carey Thomas, resident==
After she was appointed Dean and Professor of English, M. Carey Thomas took up residence at Bryn Mawr College in 1885 in the small five-room house which would become known as the "Deanery."〔(Merriam, Ruth.''A History of the Deanery'' (Bryn Mawr, PA, 1965) p. 4 )〕 She had earned her undergraduate degree from Sage College, the women's school at Cornell University, and a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Zurich at a time when women's opportunities in higher education were quite restricted.〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) p. 57, 120–123〕 An advocate for women's education, Thomas played an active role in the planning of the college's organization and academic curriculum.〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) pp. 136–57〕 In 1894, she was elected its second president,〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) p. 214.〕 a position which she held until her retirement in 1922.〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) p. 284.〕 In her forty-eight years at Bryn Mawr College Thomas continued to maintain a home in the Deanery, overseeing several expansions and renovations, as well as decorating the interior with items collected from her international travels.〔Merriam, Ruth.''A History of the Deanery'' (Bryn Mawr, PA, 1965) pp. 4–5, 10–24.()〕 In 1933, she arranged for the Deanery and its furnishings to be turned over to the college for use as an alumnae house.〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) pp. 305–6〕 She died two years later at the age of seventy-eight.〔Finch, Edith. ''Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr'' (New York, 1947) pp. 323–24.〕
