Description: See Leroy King info below. Newport items are from the Gilded Age collection of Paul Wm. Holbrook of Newport, RI, who had an avid interest in the early homes of Newport. We'll be listing many old photos of Newport mansions, and many papers and receipts of the 19th century Edward King family, whose fortunes were made in the China Trade and Newport real estate. The receipts are principally from the estate of Leroy King (1857-1895), one of Edward's sons, who built the Stanford White designed house "Berkeley" in 1885, at the corner of Bellevue and Berkeley Avenues in Newport. Many receipts are for items bought during the construction of the house and in the ten years following, from daily staples to single carpets and candelabras. There are also receipts from European hotels and purchases made in London and Paris during trips there in 1890 and 1895. Leroy died early, at age 38, in New York City. Most receipts are from Newport, but there are many from NYC as well. Leroy was a lawyer. His son Leroy Jr. was also a lawyer, and his son Frederick an architect, and his daughter Ethel an art collector. Happy to answer questions. See photos for condition!
