These seven trompe l’oeil figures were created, with oil on dummyboard, to surprise and delight Kenmore’s visitors. A vital part of the new exhibit, Built to Last: Building and Preserving Kenmore, the figures introduce the public to the “real people,” the patrons and the craftsmen, who built the house over 200 years ago.
