Ashley Mural Celebrated in Mattapoisett
“The most important day was our founding and opening day in 1958,” said Mr. Mendell. “The second was ten years later, in 1968 when we raised the funds and built our carriage house, to show the agricultural heritage of Mattapoisett... and today, an outstanding day, we celebrate the restoration and hanging of this gift of the Clifford Ashley mural by Polly Duff Phipps and her family,” said Mr. Mendell.The mural, or chart, hung in the home at 20 Water Street, in Mattapoisett for 90 years. The Duffs, who lived there for 38 years, had seven children who grew up with the mural over their heads in the "Harpoon Room" or sunroom of the home. It was attached to the sloped ceiling overhead and survived through several hurricanes due to its location. Ms. Duff Phipps contacted Seth Mendell two years ago to ask if the museum might want the mural.
The mural was placed on the wall, in back of the pulpit, between the two ends of the second floor railing in the museum. The soundboard and associated chains were raised to allow a clear view of the entire mural. Mr. Mendell said that when he measured the mural and measured the area behind the pulpit, the two areas matched perfectly, with only one and a half inches left on either side of the mural.
