Description of this plate in the Supplemental guides to -
"Pairpoint's First Fifty Plates" reads:
"The Oxford Memorial Library, which is also the home of the Oxford
Historical Society, is located on the site of an ancient Indian Fort.
Theodore Burr, a cousin of Aaron Burr, built this Federal style
house between 1809 & 1811. Wings were added to both sides
of the house at a later unknown date. Burr was born in
Torringfield, Conn. in 1771 & migrated "West", arriving in Oxford in
1792. By 1794, he had built a grist mill & the dam to power
the mill. He built the first stringed bridge across the Chenango at
Oxford in 1800; & he went on to build bridges in New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland - experimenting with
different designs until he patented the Burr Truss in 1804. Burr
was considered one of the dominant bridge builders of his time &
the Father of American Bridge Building. Today's modern bridges
with their graceful arches can be traced to Theodore Burr."
On a window sill, these cup plates capture the sun beautifully, further
accentuating the intricate designs & color.
