Stencil House, Historic house in Shelburne, US
The Stencil House features distinct wall decorations painted directly on wooden boards, creating elaborate designs throughout multiple interior rooms of the structure.
Originally constructed in 1804 on a farm in Columbus, New York, the building was later transferred to the Shelburne Museum collection in 1953.
The interior design represents 19th-century decorative techniques, with grape leaf borders, vases of flowers, and patriotic eagles painted by traveling artists.
The central fireplace design distributes heat through several rooms, while the ground floor contains a parlor, hall, kitchen, and entry foyer.
During renovation work in 1953, workers discovered extensive original stenciling patterns hidden beneath layers of old wallpaper throughout the house.
