Behind the Scenes - 1920's House Hardware

This hardware was found during our dig. All of this hardware was found in a single spot, containing a lot of charcoal. Likely this hardware was furniture and old doors no longer needed, so it was all piled in the back yard and burned. Here you see part of a door knob, a door hinge, knob-and-tube wiring, and a dresser or cabinet knob. All of these finds were archived with the Maryland Historical Trust.inl
