In addition to these sources, the team's knowledge of how a room's function in the mid-18th century related to its architectural trim also helped to determine what the conjectural woodwork would look like. Because the Parlor was the only room to have a cornice, much of the rest of the trim in the space must have also been more elaborate than the trim found elsewhere in the ca. 1764 Montpelier.
