Museum
{Continued from page I A)
Built by Marcus Dew for
McLauchlin and his bride from Aus
tralia, Christiana, the neo-classical
Greek revival frame home and its
five-acre grounds were bequeathed to
a nephew, Neil Fadyen, now deceased.
His widow, Mary Virginia McFadyen,
was accompanied by son John on
Sunday. Both expressed pleasure that
the home will become a museum.
Mrs. McFadyen said she had once
harbored a fear that the home might
one day have been demolished with
condos built in its place.
Jane Blue Pratt Davis, a niece of
the McFadyens. happily pointed out
some characteristics of the house that
struck her fancy when she was a child
—storagecubby holes under the stairs
and the tiny upstairs kitchen.
Davis tilso said beveled glass in
the double front doors acts like a
prism, and as children she and her
cousins would play with the crystal-
rellected colors in the carpet in the
front hall.
Davis also told the story of a foot-
operated ■'huz/er” in the dining room
floor under the table that her aunt used
for calling a kitchen servant during
family meals. She said the children
would sometimes scoot down in their
chairs and push the button with their
toes. Much to Mrs. McFadyen s
amazement, the butler would appear
to pick up dishes while diners were
still eating.

On Sunday, the scene was remi- greetingone another, idle talk, memo-
