Dunmuven, Living Room looking toward lake

Date

• November 15, 1916

Summary

• Interior shot of the living room at Dunmuven, the Brittingham family home designed by Frank Riley in 1916. The photographic image is beginning to break apart, but is being held together by the two glass plates of the slide. Thomas Brittingham, Jr. and Margaret Brittingham Reid donated the 15-acre estate, including land, buildings, and furnishings, to the University of Wisconsin in 1955. The Brittingham Home, as it is now known, has served as the official residence of the UW system president since the 1970’s.
