Now and then: parlor game

Fifteen years ago, in our September/October 2010 issue, we published a photo of workers on Yale's West Campus assembling the parlor from an eighteenth-century Connecticut house. The paneling, floor, and fireplace had been salvaged from a house in Hebron and purchased by Yale in 1930, but had never been reassembled. The West Campus reconstruction was a trial run for installation in the renovated Yale Art Gallery in 2012, where the room is on view today (second photo).
