FINISHING TOUCHES: Beautifully grained and ready to stay organized, these two pieces are ones that Russ brought with him from Ogden, Utah. One of the drawers on the piece above still bears his grandfather's label - “Correspondence, 1912.”
Washington D.C. Area.
Handmade Windsor chairs, drop leaf mahogany tables, a mission oak sideboard and rocker, a wide glass fronted corner cabinet, and platters and china from the 18-19th centuries mix with an old prayer run from Iran, Ethiopian stools, a collection of Coptic crosses, and a yard tall Ethiopian olive wood pestle. There is a large tray, dated 1790, a wedding present to one of Polly’s ancestors. And Russ uses one of his grandfather’s unique homemade desk/filing cabinets that still has a drawer marked “Correspondence, 1912.”
Set at the end of a long, hilly, curving driveway, Seaway House seems to perch like a bird on the summit of a gentle hill. Its three distinct wings and different roof angles are like the outstretched wings of a big seagull, and the view out over the trees to the top of Fogg Mountain would please an eagle.
Russ has counted 110 dogwood trees abloom in the spring, visible through most of the generous windows. So both the exterior and interior of the Scovilles’ home is marked by beauty and nature, using the best of the past and the present to provide a perfect setting to experience and enjoy the future.
