Furnishings
In fall 2019, Martha Cook completed their first system-wide replacement of room furnishings since the Building opened in 1915. Rooms received new desks & chairs, dressers with mirrors, book cases, lamps, and beds with headboards and underbed storage drawers. All pieces incorporated resident suggestions and were designed to fit the stately style unique to Martha Cook. William W. Cook not only donated the Martha Cook Building, but he was very "hands on" in the construction and selection of the furnishings. His guiding principle was to "buy the best, but without waste or extravagance." This update continues the grace and elegance of Martha Cook.
All rooms contain:
- twin XL bed(s)
- lamp
- book case
- trash can(s)
- recycling containers
- dresser(s)
- desk(s)
- desk chair(s)
