The Treadwell and Perry Stove Manufactory operated at 110 Beaver Street in Albany, New York, and started manufacturing stoves in 1843 and continued business until 1860 when the firm was reorganized as Treadwell, Perry, and Norton -- according to the Bi-centennial History of Albany, Vol. 4, edited by George Rogers Howell (1886). William B. Treadwell and John S. Perry owned the firm. This stove came from the only Greek Revival house, just south of the Wells-Thorn House on The Street, Deerfield, Massachusetts, built by Edwin Ware (1802-1870) in 1841, which remained in the family until 1900. The stove came to the donors from Margery Howe, longtime resident of the home when it was rented by Deerfield Academy. Howe was also friends with the owner of the Ware home at the time, Frederick Hyde.
