“Middletown” is a fictionalized town in Indiana, Narcissa Thorne’s home state, and the eclectic decorative accessories in this miniature room impart a personal, lived-in quality. Objects like porcelain vases, crystal paperweights, books, newspapers, and even tiny photographs suggest that this room is based on Thorne’s memories of her childhood.
