Not For Sale
According to the caption by Whiting's granddaughter, Louise Taylor Gerdine, this home was located on Mt. Vernon Street, Lowell, Massachusetts. Personally, I think this photo depicts 57 Clare Street, which is where Whiting lived in the 1890s up to his death. I suspect the granddaughter misremembered when she wrote the caption.
Note the Portland vase on the table in the foreground and the silhouette of Napoleon on the mantel.
