Alfred and Ada Pope furnished Hill-Stead primarily with Chippendale-style, Federal-style and Empire pieces. Sewing and gate-leg tables are found throughout the house. Another unifying theme is the inclusion of a sofa, or daybed, and secretary in the bedrooms, along with the typical four-poster bed, bureaus and gilt framed mirrors. The refinement and elegance of Hill-Stead’s furnishings dramatically depart from the ornate Victorian and heavy Arts & Crafts aesthetic of the Popes’ original Cleveland, Ohio, residence.
