 In 2013 the Dorothy Vernon Room was dismantled during the ongoing renovations of Haffner Hall.In the 1908–1909 renovation of the Deanery, M. Carey Thomas commissioned Henry Chapman Mercer to design and produce tiles for the floors of several rooms in the Deanery with his handmade tile, which were inspired by the tiles created by early German settlers in Pennsylvania.Prior to the Deanery, Thomas worked closely with Mercer in the decoration of Denbigh Hall, Pembroke East and West, Thomas Library, and the Cloisters with his tile.
