description

Summary

A growlery is literally a place to growl. Charles Dickens coined the word in "Bleak House" and Frederick Douglass liked it enough to apply the moniker to a tiny stone cabin in the back of Cedar Hill. It contained a single room with a fireplace and Douglass kept it furnished simply with a desk, stool and couch. Probably not surprisingly, he used this as a retreat for thinking, writing and reading in seclusion.
