Scope and Contents

Netter took great interest in the Dey Mansion and its furnishings. She also influenced Mrs. J. Amory Haskell in lending items to them for display. This great house, owned at the time by the Passaic County Park Commission, first opened to the public in 1934. It is still owned by Passaic County. Among the furniture that Netter lent to the Dey Mansion was the Robert Rhea wainscot armchair dated 1695, now at the Monmouth County Historical Association. The file contains invoices for items the Park Commission purchased from Netter.

Rauchfuss, Dr. William H., curator.
