Description:
According to a memo from Peter Spang in 1993, Glenn Randall, then a dealer in Washington D.C., sold the pair of chandeliers (see other - HD 421) to the Flynts via John Kenneth Byard in 1947. They once hung in a hall in New Philadelphia, Ohio, an area settled in the first decades after the Revolution. This town is in central eastern Ohio, on the Tuscarora River, midway between Columbus and Zanesville, near Zoar and Dover. The hall might have been a grange or masonic hall, and perhaps the first meeting house in New Philadelphia.
