This room is an almost perfect catalogue of the possessions and interior decoration of a well-to-do lady of late nineteenth century New England. Miss Hooper was likely Elizabeth Adams Hooper, wife of Frank Thomas Wakefield. Notice panel on the lower door where the photographer tried to touch up a light spot with a pencil.

“Mrs. Fox” is probably Marion Quincy (Winslow) Rand (1868-1915), photographer Henry Lathrop Rand’s wife. The fox mask appears in several other playful pictures. There is a splint-ash chair in the hut and bunches of balsam branches apparently on a bench. The outside of the hut had a sapling trellis attached to the surface of the building. Balsam branches were attached to it.
