Notes

Remarks: Sometime during Sleepy Hollow Experience when actors were using the Picture Gallery before entering the show on the piazza from the Parlor, a white mark appeared on the front top surface of this table, probably the result of moisture (like from a wet costume) coming into contact with the tabletop; this mark is still evident and has no diminished over time.
