This
room has been interpreted to the period 1885-1904, as the bedroom
of Irvin Garfield (1870-1951) and Abram Garfield (1872-1958),
the youngest of the Garfield children. The boys were away at
college from 1885-1896 and working in Boston and Cleveland,
respectively, thereafter. This room could have been occupied
by them when home from boarding school for Christmas or summer
vacations. The furnishings therefore include objects associated
with the boys during their adolescent years at Lawnfield.
