He won world fame when his autobiography was publicized in 1845. Two years later he bagan publishing an antislavery paper called the North Star. <IMG SRC="50885220.jpg" border=0 width="389" height="290" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Douglass served as an adviser to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and fought for the adoption of constitutional amendments that guaranteed voting rights and other civil liberties for blacks. </div> <bR> <div> Douglass provided a powerful voice for human rights during this period of American history and is still revered today for his contributions against racial injustice. </div> <bR> <div> During December 2006, all rooms received reproduction wallpapers and borders. The papers in the Parlor, the Dining room and the Foyer are accurate reproductions from original wallpapers found in the house from Douglass's time.  Artwork, cutting of screens and printings was done by <A HREF="http://www.carterandco.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.carterandco.com/"><U>Carter & Co.</U></A> located in California.  The bedrooms were papered with period papers from several companies including Scalamandre and Brunschwig & Fils. </div> <bR> <div> Prior to receiving reproduction wallpapers, the walls were first covered with muslin, then, an acid free lining paper was applied. Both of these underlayments will enhance the longevity of the wallpapers. Installers on the project were Marva Hereford, Matt Allan, Jimmy Yates, Frank Yates, Cindy Pitsinger, Ralph Porter and Jim Yates. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="759" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 210 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4ebd4af0.jpg" border=0 width="212" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Parlor Frieze</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4edddaf0.jpg" border=0 width="221" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Parlor</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="226"><div> <IMG SRC="4ef91af0.jpg" border=0 width="145" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> View over parlor fireplace</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 213 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4f1d0af0.jpg" border=0 width="208" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Foyer border</div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4f3e2af0.jpg" border=0 width="226" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Foyer/Stair</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4f5e2af0.jpg" border=0 width="226" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Jim Yates installing Foyer paper</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 207 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4f7e9af0.jpg" border=0 width="233" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Dining Room</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4fee9af0.jpg" border=0 width="233" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Dining Room</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="50097bb0.jpg" border=0 width="151" height="187" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Bedroom</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 210 WIDTH="255"><div> <IMG SRC="50298bc0.jpg" border=0 width="152" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Bedroom</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="504e9bc0.jpg" border=0 width="233" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Bedroom</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="506debe0.jpg" border=0 width="222" height="190" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Bedroom</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
