The Gilded Age Chateau de Mores in Medora,
North Dakota, was built in 1883 as a summer
home and hunting lodge for the French
aristocrat, the Marquis de Mores. The 26-room
home was decorated by his wife primarily with
American-made products designed in the
fashionable Eastlake style. Undoubtedly, a
wide variety of wallpapers would have been
readily available for purchase in the cities
of Bismarck and Fargo, but finding this
sophisticated pattern hung in a frontier home
was unusual.
