| Description | This photographic postcard shows part of the large living room of Morgan Hall, on the campus of the Appalachian School near Penland, North Carolina, probably during the Christmas season. The scene includes many handmade items such as wrought iron andirons, broom, basket, and stool. The photograph for this postcard was taken by Bayard Wootten sometime during the 1920s-1930s. Morgan Hall was built in 1917 as a rectory for the Appalachian School and served many functions for the school, including faculty residence, dormitory, classroom, and weaving room for the Division of Fireside industries (c. 1923-26). From 1923 to 1938 the Appalachian School served as the umbrella institution under which the Penland Weavers and Potters were organized and the Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts) was established. |
