A SOFT FACE-LIFTING

A touch of Williamsburg is noted in the bluish-gray tones of the Donald K. Fellows, 
Jr., home at 201 North Pine Street.  The house has undergone a soft face-lifting 
with the extensive wrought-ironwork flanking the veranda finished in contrasting 
white.

The colonial American influence is continued in the interior.  Don and his wife, 
the former Anna Lett of Jackson, Tenn., have collected many rare pieces of antique 
furnishings to create the effect.  Many of the collector's items were found in 
Maryland while other were selected by Ann's mother in her home state of Tennessee.

In the entrance hall a Chippendale mirror reflects the beauty of a Chippendale 
console and a Scottish Grandfather clock.

The dining area is highlighted with Queen Anne chairs and a long period table.  A 
marble top sideboard of the 1850 era with Sheraton mirror claims further interest.  
Among additional prized treasures are a Hepplewhite desk, a Chippendale tilt-top 
table, a chest-on-chest and a pair of Chippendale chairs in the bedroom.

The Shetland wool rugs have sentimental value as they were possessions of Don's 
aunt, Mrs. Gladys Fellows. The greenish background of the floor coverings 
harmonizes with the walls, eclats and background.

The wide-spreading wood framework house is one of Hammond's older homes.  It was 
the family residence of the late Mr. and Mrs. Rolland D. Fellows, uncle and aunt 
of the present owners.
