notes: label: Description
content: A sidewall designed by Sheila Bridges. The wallpaper has a design of pink gingham with scattered and repeating black and white vignettes in the French toile style. The vignettes feature comical illustrations of people engaged in a variety of typical Hudson Valley scenes. Included is a scene of two men posed as farmers in the style of American Gothic; a painter on the banks of the Hudson River, with a Victorian mansion in the background; Rip Van Winkle sitting in bridge traffic; a hunter being chased by a deer; a mountain scene with a sledding bear amidst the skiers; and a scene of a woman in sunglasses asking, "Do you know if they sell Hudson Valley fois gras?" as she stands next to her car (license plate reads [COUGAR]) outside a store.
