 Photographs from before Garrett moved into the Deanery in 1904, and after de Forest's redecoration of the house in 1894–1896, show only a fraction of the known pieces by de Forest in Bryn Mawr's collection from the Deanery.The absence of the furniture in these photographs, in addition to shipping labels still attached to several pieces indicating Garrett as the sender and the Deanery as the final destination, support the idea that the majority of the de Forest furniture was originally from Garrett's Baltimore home.Furthermore, if the furniture was from this earlier period, then it is likely that it was produced in de Forest's workshop in Ahmedabad, India.
