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.
