The owner is known. Whether it is on view today, the museum does not say, and we were not trained to guess.
Edward Appleton was Sarah Goodridge’s nephew, the son of Sarah’s sister, Beulah Goodridge, and Thomas Appleton, who were married in Boston in 1812. In 1851, Sarah bought a house in Reading that she shared with her sister’s family.
