Poplar Hill Mansion Goes National In Early American Life Magazine

Mayor James Ireton, Jr. is proud to announce Poplar Hill Mansion is featured in Early American Life, a national magazine dedicated to the preservation and design on Early American interiors. The two page article was written by Louise Cordeman of “The Historic Interior”, a website devoted to historic interior design and restoration.

Aleta Davis, Board Chair, Friends of Poplar Hill Mansion said, “Ms. Cordeman had called to talk about historic interior restoration for a column she was doing for Early American Life. During our discussions I told her that we were actually nearing completion of our own historic interior paint project. She was very excited about our work, having done an article for The Historic Interior on our Clara Gunby Art exhibit a couple of years ago. I sent her information about our restoration, information about Ageless Treasures, who was restoring the interior according to a paint analysis done in 2007, and photos by Dean Davis, Rita Tiso and myself.”

Mrs. Davis continued, “To see Poplar Hill Mansion in a national magazine devoted to authentic restoration of historic interiors is gratifying and a tribute to all of the Board and Friends of Poplar Hill Mansion who have given time, money, expertise, and countless hours of research and planning to see that Poplar Hill Mansion once again looks as glorious as it did over 200 years ago. Poplar Hill Mansion is a treasure that Salisbury can be proud to share with the entire country.”
