Mudd Sitting Room

The Mudd Sitting Room in Arlington House in Birmingham is named for owner William S. Mudd. It features a fine collection of mid-nineteenth century furnishings. During warm summer weather the room is prepared in "summer dress," as pictured here. The white covers protect furniture from damage and the netting protects the chandelier from bugs that enter through open windows.
