The Claflin-Richards House, also known as the Claflin-Gerrish-Richards House, is a historic First Period house located at 132 Main Street, Wenham, Massachusetts. It is now part of the nonprofit Wenham Museum and may be toured by appointment (regular tour hours are at 11:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:45pm). The Claflin-Richards House was constructed circa 1690 with ogee braces, an architectural hallmark of 16th- and 17th-century English dwellings. Today it contains three centuries of architecture, furnishings, and artifacts, representing a First Period dwelling room, a late 17th-century minister's parlor, a circa 1750 bed chamber, and a Victorian-era chamber. Furnishings include a woolen bed-rug made in 1724, said to be the second oldest such rug in the United States, and an oak dresser built in 1752.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Claflin-Gerrish-Richards House )〕 It was purchased by the Wenham Historic Society in 1921.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MACRIS inventory record for Claflin-Richards House )〕 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973,〔 and included in the Wenham Historic District in that year.〔 == See also == * Claflin family * List of historic houses in Massachusetts * National Register of Historic Places listings in Essex County, Massachusetts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claflin-Richards House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
