Summary[edit]

Description
English: Napoleon Bonaparte Room in the Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library

When the library was originally built, the Napoleon Room was the men’s Conversation Room. The room was decorated in a French style due to a strong French influence. Many of the former members of Napoleon’s army settled in Northern New York, and even built a house for Napoleon to live in when he was rescued from exile. But as you know from history, Napoleon was never rescued and the house they built for him, ‘The Cup and Saucer House,’ burnt down. The current Cape Vincent Library was built on the site of the house. The Napoleon Room is papered with red flocked wallpaper. The furniture was owned by Jenika Deferiet, who was reputed to be the governess to Leray de Chaumont’s daughter in France. The books were donated by Emma Flower Taylor and the dishes were presented to the library by Mrs. Goodale, Taylor’s best friend. The dishes were also originally owned by Jenika Deferiet.
