According to Marie Watkins, a Joseph Henry Sharp scholar and associate professor of art history at Furman University, Greenville, South Carolina, “In the west room with a Pueblo-style fireplace, Sharp designed an architecturally interesting window on the south wall that was square on the inside and round on the outside. This window and fireplace created a backdrop in many of his paintings.”
