- Scope and content:
-
Doris Duke was the sole proprietor of LADD Interiors, a proprietorship with the purpose of purchasing home furnishings and some antique furniture and then transferring these goods to her for use in her own personal residence(s) or as she desired. The first purchase by LADD was in 1972, and with few exceptions all purchases by LADD were made in connection with refurbishing Doris Duke's residences at Duke Farms, Rough Point, Shangri La and her Park Avenue apartment. Materials in this subseries primarily consist of invoices and correspondence for these purchases and for the restoration of some furniture. Other materials include tax documentation, inventories (including color photographs), bank statements and fabric samples.
