This remarkable cache of over 4,500 rolls, 1,377 patterns of antique wallpaper dating back to 1850, was discovered by the Brillion Historical Society which recognized the significance of the find but was not able to provide sufficient storage space or the care it deserved.
Florence L. Schroeder became aware of the collection and purchased the entire lot including elaborate friezes, ceiling medallions and sidewalls. The papers had never been unrolled thereby maintaining their original brilliance of color unlike most faded specimens in museums. All of the papers, which were manufactured by American wallpaper companies, were deacidified and encapsulated in Mylar to preserve the original colors.
