The rigorous beauty and logic of the First Church, the Fifth Meeting House, in Lancaster has withstood almost two centuries.
This building is widely recognized as the crowning expression of the architectural genius of Charles Bulfinch, America’s first
professional architect, and is thought to be the most unadulterated example of his work.
Created in 2008, The Bulfinch Fund, a separate nonprofit organization, has begun the work of restoring the Fifth Meeting
House in Lancaster, a National Historic Landmark. The Bulfinch Fund also seeks to educate current and future generations
about the importance of American architecture and the historic time in which it was created.
The cost of the entire project is estimated to be $2 millon. The project has raised $320,000 and gained national recognition,
initially receiving a Getty Foundation grant, and recently a Crystal Eagle Award from Freedom’s Way in 2010.
The Bulfinch Fund is asking for financial support to ensure that this historical treasure, the “Bulfinch Church,”
is protected and preserved for future generations.

proceeds to benefit the maintenance and conservation of the collection.
Literature: American Furniture, 1620 to the Present, Jonathan

Fairbanks and Elizabeth Bidwell Bates, Richard Marek Publishers, New
York, 1981, p. 52, illustrated. Fairbanks writes, “As recently as 1969,
the location of this key specimen of the cabinetmaker’s art in New
England was not known to furniture historians. It was recognized as
one of the rare signed and documented examples of the second major
style of furnituremaking in this country. The chest’s design shows a
dramatic movement toward vertical composition. It is lifted off the
ground with a curvilinear stand that reflects the energy of Baroque art.
The flat S-scrolls of its base suggest that the maker, Edmund Titcomb,
must have been well aware of fashionable London design, which by
the 1660s had been strongly influenced by immigrant designers and
craftsman from the Low Countries. The Anglo-Flemish traditions
reflected in this piece are remarkably sophisticated, considering the
town in which it was made was a very modest rural village well into the
eighteenth century... The chest’s strong silhouette and dramatic base
make the work successful.”

America’s Textiles and Needlework 1650-1930, by
Judith Reiter Weissman and Wendy Lavitt, Alfred A.
Knopf, New York, 1987, p. 114-115. They describe
the roll-ups, also called huswifs or housewife, as “an
oblong pouch for needles, pins, and other smalls that
rolled up and could be carried in the larger pocket...”
that 18th and 19th century women wore under their
skirts.
Note: Further research has revealed that a needlework

pocketbook with nearly identical color arrangement and
stitching is in the collection of the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art, illustrated in Art of the Embroiderer,
translated by Nikki Scheuer with additional commentary
by Edward Maeder, Boston, Massachusetts, 1983, fig
119. The LACMA example is stitched with “EP/1763,”
and those initials have been identified as Elizabeth
Parker’s of Westchester County, Pennsylvania.

made by a relative of Elizabeth Parker, perhaps a sister.

wd. 43, overall dp. 24 3/4 in.
Provenance: Family descent within the Simes family of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. According to the consignor, who is a
descendant of the Simes family, the high chest was originally owned by John Wentworth (1737-1820), who was the British
colonial governor of New Hampshire from 1767 to 1775. During the Revolution, fearing for his safety, he packed up his wife
and infant son and fled, eventually ending up in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 1792, Wentworth was appointed governor of Nova
Scotia and served until 1808. In 1776, with outstanding debts still in Portsmouth, the city fathers decided to auction the
contents of Wentworth’s home. Members of the prominent Portsmouth mercantile family, the Simes, bought the high chest,
with whom it has remained.

early and more restricted associations...Each member was obliged to
keep two leather buckets, two bags (1 1/2 x 3/4 yd.) with his name
on them, and a bed-key and, on notice of a fire must ‘repair with his
bucket, bags, and key, to the place where it happens’ and ‘use his best

Note: William T. King of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a noted

expert on steam fire engines and author of the book History of the
American Steam Fire Engine, published by The Pinkham Press, 1896.
This model hand engine competed with other working models, similar
in size, and of the same period. The reference on the placard “play this
model” is synonymous with pumping the engine.
The original Red Jacket engine, with serial number 364, was made by
L. Button & Co., Waterford, New York, in 1854. A late 19th century
chromolithograph depicting the original Red Jacket engine (lot 184A)

184, with details
My father, Col. Rockwell Campbell Tenney, was serving in the U.S. Army Reserves when the Boston Police
Strike of 1919 brought the city to a violent halt. As a child, I was captivated by photographs of him in uniform
during this time and maintained for much of my early childhood that my father, to his great amusement, was
actually a policeman. As indelible as this impression was on me, the experience left a similar mark on my father
that was expressed through his collecting of memorabilia associated with civil service. The Red Jacket is such an
acquisition which found its way into our home along with leather fire helmets, brigade buckets as well as early
insurance plaques and beautifully cast brass fire hose nozzles, polished as bright as the flames they were meant to
extinguish. As a result of yearly and much anticipated canoe trips with his father to Club St. Bernard in Quebec,
my father’s love of fishing developed into an appreciation for the outdoors and, in particular, the lure and lore of
Nantucket Sound. Success in the utility business allowed my mother and father to build a home in Hyannis Port
after which his collecting expanded to reflect their enjoyment of the area with many examples of scrimshaw, half-
hull models, marine paintings and whaling artifacts in addition to early Americana and colonial furniture. Of all
the unique items collected by my parents, none were more eye-catching than the porcupine fish cleverly modified
into a light fixture that still hangs in the front hall as a novel welcome to ‘one and all.’ The house and the life
that they created together were filled with family and friends who delighted in sharing my parents’ sense of fun
and eclectic style of collecting.

The Wayside Inn Historic Site (WIHS) is an internationally
recognized 125-acre campus which operates the colonial-era
inn and tavern known as Longfellow’s Wayside Inn. The
WIHS offers educational tours of its village-like property to
nearly 150,000 visitors annually, providing access to a water-
powered grist mill, an early one-room schoolhouse, as well as
the Wayside Inn homestead itself. A non-profit since 1945, the
WIHS remains dedicated to the preservation and stewardship
of its role as an important 18th-century stagecoach stop, using
museum-room settings and display cases to exhibit objects
related to the four generations of the Howe family who ran a
well-known innkeeping business on this site from 1716 to 1861.
The Wayside Inn Antiques Show offers a prime opportunity
for area businesses to show their support, and helps ensure the
preservation and future growth of one of America’s most notable
icons.
