This ceiling fixture comes from the house of Mrs. Richard Polson of Spooner, Wisconsin. Mrs. Polson was a wealthy Chicago woman who commissioned Purcell and Elmslie to build this modest house as a wedding present for her son, D. B. Brockett and his wife Nan. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and this bronze fixture is listed in the register as designed by Purcell and Elmslie.
