Description Film negative showing a view of Cedar Mer, the Morris family's multi-story house with a wide porch and balconies on the second and third floors. The railings on the porch and the balconies have a criss-cross pattern. A woman, either Elizabeth Canby Morris or Martha Canby Morris, stands on the porch steps with her hand on the railing. Grass grows in front of the house and trees grow behind it. Quaker architect Hibberd Yarnall built the summer home Cedar Mer around 1875. After his death in 1882, Elliston Perot Morris bought the property. Morris left Cedar Mer to his son Marriott Canby Morris in his will. It was sold in 1951 after his death. By 1958 the house had been demolished.
