Mrs. Weatherby was a big collector of art, antiques and other beautiful things.
When the house was donated to the museum the paperwork stated that all fixtures were to remain in the house....they didn't.
Mrs. Weatherby's daughter (Murdell Holbert) took them all and when she recently moved into a retirement home in El Paso she made a huge donation to the International Museum of Art.
Apparently none of her children or grandchildren wanted any of these things.
I can't help but be a little browned off about it.
The crystal chandelier in the foreground was in our foyer and the smaller one in the background was in the dining room.
There was one in the parlor also and even a chandelier in the bathroom.
