Early Refurnishing Efforts: Old Chamber
As the Mount Vernon Ladies Association’s (MVLA) larger interpretation of Mount Vernon has evolved since its possession of the mansion in 1860, so have the decoration and furnishings of the first floor bedchamber—which the Washington’s knew as the “Old Chamber.” The MVLA’s goal has always been to keep the rooms within the mansion “as Washington left them.”1 In the early years of the MVLA’s ownership of Mount Vernon, limited funding and resources prevented the MVLA from extensively decorating the Old Chamber. By the early 1880s, the MVLA began renovating the room; but in doing so, it added antique Colonial Revival style furnishings and interpreted the space as Martha Washington’s Sitting Room. As the MVLA developed new research standards and professional practices in the early twentieth century, it affirmed the historical function of the Old Chamber as a bedchamber during George Washington’s life. In the following years, curators and professionals at Mount Vernon moved furniture and decoration to and from the room in their attempts to restore the room to its original 1799 appearance.
