Footnote ¹:            “Flag Gate”, Unidentified Artist. ca. 1876, painted wood and iron brass, 39-½” x 57” x 3-3/4” in. The Flag Gate was originally made for the Darling Farm, physically located in Jefferson County, New York. Mr. Hemphill, Jr. had identified this Gate when this item came up for Auction at the Parke-Bernet Auction House, which Mr. Prince had purchased for the purpose of being used as their Gate for their in-house Bar, which they were famously known for their parties within their Apartment. In 1961, with Mr. Prince’s newly position with Pan-Am Airlines, the owner of the newly International Inter-Continental Hotel Company, hired and assigned Mr. Prince to fly to the Phoenicia Inter-Continental Hotel in Beirut, Lebanon to redesign and complete the construction of the New Hotel. During Mr. Prince’s duration in Lebanon, Mr. Hemphill, Jr. had removed from Flag Gate from the hinges and decided that this Gate would be the first Item to be donated to the Newly Formed American Folk Art Museum before he notified Mr. Prince that his adored gate was given away, as a donation, to the Museum without credit. Hence, this “Flag Gate” is listed under the American Folk Art Museum as “gift of Herbert Waide Hemphill, Jr., 1962.1.1”.  In late 1963, Mr. Hemphill, Jr. attempted to mend the situation by donating the carved and painted wood 19^th Century “Turtle”, (Unidentified Artist- 7-¼” x 20-3/8” x 7-5/8”) as a gift of Herbert Waide Hemphill, Jr., in the name of “Neil Adair Prince”, 1964.1.2. However, his first name was misspelled and the event was not mended as attempted by Mr. Hemphill, Jr.
