Hodson J. 2011. William Floyd Estate Historic Furnishings Estate Volume I: Historical Data. National Park Service. Charlestown, MA
This Historic Furnishings Report is the first formal study of the furnishings at the William Floyd Estate. The information contained in the report provides the site with a long-term decision-making tool for future installations and public interpretation. The Furnishings Report documents room use during the house‟s various periods of historical occupancy. Disparate information on the history of the house‟s construction, ownership, occupancy and room use from the eighteenth century through 1975 has been gathered, assembled, analyzed and placed into historical context. The current room furnishings, museum collections and interpretation have been evaluated in light of the documentary evidence found and treatment options proposed. Using material compiled from a variety of archival and museum sources, the occupancies of the various Floyd family members were examined.
