Label TextClosets are a fairly new invention, and most homes built before 1920 have few or no original closets in their construction. Wardrobes and chests of drawers were the primary method of storage for clothes and linens. This wardrobe came from the Elsie Perrin Williams estate, which occupies the property at 101 Windermere Road West.
