Anna Maria Calhoun and Thomas Green Clemson were married in the parlor on November 13, 1838. Portraits include Thomas Clemson (James Ord c. 1830), right of the fireplace; Anna Maria Calhoun Clemson (J.J. Eeckhout c. 1848, Belgium), above the sofa; the Clemson children, Floride and John Calhoun (Eeckhout 1848), left wall. Busts include Cornelia Clemson (Hiram Powers c. 1858), left corner; and John C. Calhoun (Clark Mills 1845). A souvenir of Clemson’s diplomatic career is the red chair and footstool given to him by King Leopold I of Belgium. Clemson prized his Windsor chair, which had belonged to George Washington. The pianoforte belonged to Floride Calhoun, and the square grand piano was Anna’s.
