It Is a large red bib k building set on an attractively landscnped plot di agonally across the street from the old homestead of the famed poet, Hulph Wuhto Kmersoii. Gifts made lust year In memory of Mr, and Mrs. Edwin Shcpard Hnrrett of this town enabled the Concord Antiquarian society to create the novel repository. Though offering to public, view for tho first time a host of relics reculllng revolutionary days, the museum was nt erected primarily f,,r the exhibi tion of such objects. It principal pur pose Is to depict :he evolution of the American home during the approxi mately two centuries from 1050 to IS lit. The singular beauty of, the struc ture, known as the ConcuM Antlquar I ji hou-e, protxihly lies In tho fact that It actually was built around the rooms that It contains. Typical rooms In Concord homesteads known to date back to a ccCaln period were trans ferred Intact to the new building and Installed In their original mate. Antiques, virtually ull of them gath ered from Concord homes nud ninny of tbei priceless, have been used In furnishing tho house, being divided among the rooms of tho periods which they represent.
