Burnt Flow Blue Plate
Title
Burnt Flow Blue Plate
Description
This plate is painted in a technique that was invented in the 1820s, so it dates to after the period of the Academy. It serves as evidence that the house was occupied well after Liberty Hall Academy burned down. The plate itself is also burnt, which probably occurred when the Steward’s house burned down in the 1930s.
