Original 1860's Naples Hotel Section

Each room within the Hamilton House was named with intention, evoking celestial, botanical, or nostalgic imagery that harmonizes with its design motif. Symbolism is embedded in every detail—most notably, in the wallpapers chosen to define them.
 

Wallpaper: Woodland Weeds by Morris & Co (1905)
An homage to natural wonder. The millefleurs design evokes resilience and the wild beauty of the Maine landscape—capturing the spirit of rebirth.

Wallpaper: Monkshood by Morris & Co
Both beautiful and mysterious. Though rendered with innocence, Monkshood—also known as Wolfsbane—carries a duality of charm and danger, a nod to complexity
beneath surface elegance.

Wallpaper: Elmcote by Morris & Co (1900)
Darkly romantic and deeply detailed. With brooding foliage and tapestry-like forms, it embodies nobility, endurance, and protection—a grounded, majestic space.

Wallpaper: Lafayette Botanical by Schumacher
Bursting with pineapples and florals inspired by 18th-century chintz, this room reflects abundance, warmth, and global curiosity—the joyful apex of the home.

Wallpaper: Willow Leaf by Schumacher
This twin-bedded room features intertwining leaves and delicate printing—conveying fluidity, balance, and the quiet strength of nature, a graceful companion to its floral
counterpart.

Each room in the Hamilton House stands as a chapter in a larger story—a tale of decay and revival, of memory and imagination. The Hamiltons’ thoughtful stewardship, paired with Carlee Cardwell’s design narrative and Dan Phelan’s expert execution, has ensured the house is not merely restored—but reborn with presence, purpose, and poetry.
