Glass negative showing the Morris family home Avocado, a multi-story house with a wide porch, a tower with a balcony and tracery decoration in the gables. Two women sit on the porch steps. A driveway circles in front of the house. 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.
