The Day House in Norwood, half-timbered gables and tall chimneys, home of a great photographer.

It looks like an English manor that wandered into a Massachusetts town: half-timbered gables, clustered chimneys, and leaded windows. This ornament draws the Day House from the drive.

It is the Norwood ornament for those who know the house and a discovery for those who do not. It is a three-inch round of faceted crystal glass on a red ribbon, printed so the open areas of the drawing let the light through, in your choice of a white or gold gift box. Give it to a photographer, a book collector, or a lover of the Arts and Crafts years, for whom the name of its owner still means something.

The house was built in 1859 for Lewis Day, a Boston leather merchant. Between 1890 and 1892 his son, F. Holland Day, had it rebuilt in the Tudor Revival style. Fred Holland Day was a publisher of beautiful books and one of the first Americans to argue, and to prove with his own pictures, that photography could be a fine art. The house is open for tours.

Day lived here most of his life, and the rooms still feel like his. Norwood kept the house, and with it a chapter in the history of American art that began on a quiet street.
