Provenance |
The Flood Estate in Woodside was built by James Flood, grandson of the James Flood who built Lindenwood in 1880. The Woodside home was built in 1936, just after Lindenwood was torn down; many of the Lindenwood items were put in this house. This doorknob set was originally from the Lindenwood Estate but was later used in the Woodside Flood Estate on the second floor powder room. |
