When we removed the bookcase, this silver colored paper appeared. The color of the baseboard was a grey/blue. The tall 8' long cabinet was original to the house and will be moved to the parlor since the triple cabinet from William Meyer could be united in this location. The cabinet is by a famous shop in St Louis and it could be united for the first time since arriving in the Benjamin House. The 12' length would fit in this location quite nicely.
