The slate-topped table at right was the gift of the Reverend Nehemiah Walter in 1847, and according to Reynolds, impressed Wallace Nutting, the antiquarian and maker of reproduction furniture, as a rare piece of furniture. Over the table hung a map of Lake George engraved by Thomas Johnston in 1756. The David Wood shelf clock was the gift of Clinton M. Dyer. Photographer unknown, possibly Nathaniel Paine.
