Commission approves accession of Union Mills-era clock and lamp for museum collection
Summary
Commission voted to accept a donation of a clock and lamp identified as purchased from the Union Mills Hotel auction after its 1931 closure; motion carried by voice vote.
The Lacey Historical Commission approved accession of a donated clock and lamp tied to the Union Mills Hotel auction after the mill closed in 1931.
Museum staff member Aaron described the provenance: the items were donated by Judith and Doug Carmen; the donor family reported the items were purchased by family forebear Fred Morris at the Union Mills Hotel auction after the hotel closed in 1931. The donor family later owned property on South Long Lake and retained the items until the recent donation. Aaron said the objects will be displayed in the museum’s "bits and bobs" exhibit in the new space.
Commissioner Edward moved to approve the accession for the month; Commissioner Kevin seconded. Several commissioners vocally responded "aye" and the chair announced the motion approved by voice vote. Staff will add the objects to the museum collection and prepare accession documentation.
No conditions or amendments were recorded with the accession motion.
