Intervale Manor, 1940
Intervale Manor was a large private home in the late 19th century when the two Stevens sisters (Gertrude and Celia) and their mother (Gertrude Olney Stevens) made this parlor throw. In the 1940s Intervale Manor became a tearoom, operated by a family member and known for its hospitality, exceptionally fine food, spacious grounds, and comfortable accommodations.
Eben Stevens (husband/ father of the above) was a founder of Intervale Textile Mills in nearby Quinebaug, Connecticut.
