The original owners and occupants of The W.H. Stark House, William Henry Stark and Miriam Melissa Lutcher Stark, were both avid collectors. Together, they amassed many 18th and 19th century decorative works as well as artistic pieces from their travels around the globe. Many of these items can be found today in The W.H. Stark House as well as the adjacent Carriage House. The impressive collection includes American Brilliant Period cut glass, antique porcelains, a rare copy of the Napoleon death mask, a one-of-a-kind tea service, and many more unique pieces. A portion of the collection is available online: just click any item to view more information.  Images by Will France.
