While you stay with us, relish in this apartment’s illustrious past. The apartment is located on the second floor in the location of the mansion’s original library. While the house was being constructed in the early 1900s, its owner Jeannette Bliss traveled to Europe in search of period rooms. To properly house her late husband’s extensive book collection she imported a baroque-style room with a 16th century ceiling taken from a Neapolitan palazzo. Three years after her death, her daughter Susan donated Jeannette’s Mary Queen of Scots collection to the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The astounding windfall for the library included 113 hand-written manuscripts, 687 printed books, 627 prints and 22 medals. Before Susan died in 1964, she donated etchings by James Whistler to Bowdoin College and by 1965 had given the school the entire library—some 1,200 volumes—including the entire Neapolitan wood-panelled room.
