NotesSubject Note: These panels were probably part of a larger frieze that was installed in the living room of the Holley boarding house (now the Bush-Holley House, home to the Greenwich Historical Society) in Cos Cob, Connecticut. The boarding house served as a residence for visiting artists and writers and became the unofficial headquarters of the Cos Cob art colony, of which MacRae was a member.Status
