The first thing you might notice when entering this room is that there are 2 twin beds rather than a larger bed for two people. This was the style for decades and during Homer and Edith’s marriage. Sleeping separately was thought to be a more modern and healthier option for couples. If one of them were sick or a poor sleeper, the other one knew he or she would be getting fresh air and not pushed or kicked in the night by their spouse. Only in about the 1950s was this practice considered a negative reflection on the state of a couple’s relationship.

Photos of Homer as a teenager and a well-established businessman can be seen in his chair, along with his hunting blanket. He had a place to smoke and read his magazines both upstairs and down.

Photos of Edith can be seen as a young woman and a middle-aged wife and mother. This is where she often sat next to her husband and mended clothing.

Homer's golf clubs can be seen leaning against his dresser, just as he left them. This type of dresser features doors that open to reveal drawers behind them. On top of his dresser are his glasses and some monogrammed handkerchiefs with a cursive capital "C", along with a photo of some Chambers family members.

If you've ever visited BHS' other museum, the John Jay French House, you might notice with your eagle eyes that Edith also had a hair receptacle on her dresser. The practice of saving hair from hairbrushes was common much longer than people realized, dating back to Ancient Egypt and gaining popularity in the Victorian era. Also on Edith's dresser are some photos of the Fuller and Gilbert families on her side.
