This ornate shelving unit houses many personal effects from the Gray family. Several of these porcelain and glass objects are souvenirs from their travels, or commemorate special events – such as the blown Glass Easter Egg on the middle shelf. Notice the white china ewer (pitcher) on the second highest shelf – it is pictured in the portrait of Franklina C. Gray as a child, also on display in this room.
