Trust Tour: Abel and Mary Nicholson House with Ralph Harvard

The Decorative Arts Trust had the joy of visiting the Abel and Mary Nicholson House on November 10, 2020, for another Trust Tour. The one and only Ralph Harvard led us on an exciting exploration of this amazing house.

Among the most pristine examples of early Anglo-American building, the dwelling is also the most intact surviving patterned-brick structure in the country, providing a nearly complete dictionary of Baroque brickwork and masonry techniques. Although a good number of houses survive from the 18th century, the Nicholson House is one of the few that dates from the first quarter and remains in an evocative, untouched state.

Trust Tours is a monthly virtual program that gives viewers the opportunity to go behind the scenes and experience incredible collections and sites. Curators, collectors, and lovers of decorative arts share favorite objects through tours hosted on YouTube Live.
