Description
This is a view of the side wall mural beneath the staircase of the Cornelius Tarbox House. This mural is a tranquil marine scene with a panoply of boats sailing to and fro across a broad panorama; larger ships are silhouetted along the horizon in atmospheric perspective.
The Cornelius Tarbox House is a well-preserved Greek Revival house. Its name stems from its builder, Cornelius Tarbox Jr. (1785-1858). The house overlooks a cove and was one of several family homesteads on the Tarbox family's extensive island landholdings. The house dates to 1848-50 according to the town's valuation records.
