Description Film negative showing a woman, possibly Marriott C. Morris' sister Elizabeth Canby Morris, standing in the grass next to a porch of the Morris family home Avocado. She wears a long white dress and holds flowers in her left hand. A small black black dog stands next to her and bicycles rest against the porch behind her. Elliston Perot Morris bought property in Sea Girt, N.J. in 1875, where he built the summer home Avocado after designs by Quaker architect Hibberd Yarnall. Morris left Avocado, named after a Perot family estate in Bermuda, to his daughter Elizabeth Canby Morris in his will. It was sold in 1947 after her death. By 1958 the house had been demolished.
