              A dog is asleep on the carpeted floor of the parlor in Charles A. and Martha (Silverthorn) Finding's house on Main Street in Breckenridge, Colorado. Circa 1893. The room is furnished with area rugs, a secretary desk, a bookcase and a wicker rocking chair in the bay window. Anchoring the room is an ornate cast iron parlor stove. Decorative items throughout include framed pictures and photographs, porcelain plates supported on easels, seashells and vases. Doilies, antimacassars and tasseled cloth runners cover chair backs and tables and heavy tasseled curtains drape the opening to the adjacent music room. A large book is displayed on a metal book stand, probably the Family Bible.

              Three women sit in the parlor or drawing room of a house, probably in Breckenridge, Colorado. On the left, a woman sits in a rocking chair. She is finely dressed in a loose bodice with very large puffy sleeves at the shoulders that narrow down the elbow (called leg-o-mutton sleeves) and a matching full, flared skirt trimmed with ruffles, indicating a high fashion style of the 1890s. On the right, two similarly dressed women share one chair, with one of them sitting on the armrest. They wear white blousy shirtwaists, with full sleeves extending down the shoulder and gathered at the wrist (called bishop sleeves), tucked into dark high-waisted skirts. Behind them is a secretary dresser with bookcase and mirror, decorated with portrait photographs. Circa 1890s.
