Ancient relics

Made another pass thru the Library of Congress archives to clean up some source citations by adding links to the source files and found several more pre-1930 photos that I wanted to use, including some of the Red Room, Green Room, and Kitchen. One I found for the Living Room (when it was the state bedroom) was confusing. I already had a photo from 1893, but now I have two different photos from 1893. Anyone with some insight would have my gratitude. Do I have the dates wrong or are these before-and-after photos of the Harrison-Cleveland transition?

UPDATE: Visitor Dennis has suggested that the Harrison photos (you can see "Harrison" on a pillow) are probably earlier than 1893 and the new photo probably is post-Cleveland redecoration of 1893 (the LOC says 1893, so I'll stick with that).
