History

Frederick Douglass had a rustic retreat here apart from domestic society where he could think, read, and write undisturbed. Evoking the image of a lion’s lair, he called this hideaway the Growlery. It was simply furnished with a lounge, a high desk, and a stool. The present building is a reconstruction.
