Rest Rooms: The Development, Design, and Disinfection of the Bedroom and Sick Room in the American Home 2023 Curtis Gates Lloyd Fellow Elizabeth Yuko will discuss her research on the history and evolution of the bedroom and sick room in American homes; specifically, how their presence, layout, decor, fixtures, furnishings, and upkeep promote rest, sleep, and health for not only the occupant(s) of the room, but the rest of the household as well. Yuko has drawn heavily from works discussing hygiene, sanitation, and domesticity from the late 1800s and early 1900s, as well as primary sources from the Lloyd’s Eclectic Medical Collection.
