Description

Crushed glass, round suncatcher of unknown house. May be Nathaniel B. Palmer House. It is unclear whether this was also created by Helen Kenneth, but was included in the same collection so will be treated as such. Suncatcher is approximately 6 inches in diameter. Per conversation with Joanne Caldera (May 2023), this may be the house at 12 E Neck Road on Wamphassuc. Ms. Caldera said her in-laws lived in this house through the 1980s, and recognized it from photographs and a family needlepoint. The house has since been extensively renovated and the floor plan changed.
