Armoire is 87" tall and 100" wide. It has three sections, the center section is 28" deep and the outer sections are 23" deep. The top is removable and it appears that the side sections can lift off the bottom piece so that it can be easier to move. The side sections have coat hooks on a sliding rail and the rail also has fixtures to install a rod.

Found this seafood/appetizer fork at a yard sale. On the front it says HOTEL HYGEIA and on the back is HOLMES & EDWARDS XIV. It also has the numbers 73 and 77 on the back. From what I've researched so far, I believe it is silver plated. I had never heard of this hotel and discovered there is quite a rich and interesting history to it! It was located next to Fort Monroe in Old Point Comfort, VA. Edgar Allen Poe and President James Monroe stayed there! The hotel was ordered to be torn down in 1902. Based on that and the Holmes & Edwards XIV , I think this is from somewhere around 1892.
