Elisabeth C. Draper

Elisabeth C. Draper (1900-1993) was a prominent interior decorator in New York City.

She attended Miss Spence's School but left before her graduation in 1918 to be trained as a radio operator 1st class, and served in that capacity until the end of World War I.

In 1980 Mrs. Draper was hired as a consultant to help the National Park Service document the history of the interior of the Eisenhower’s Gettysburg farmhouse.

The Old Merchant's House on East Fourth Street in Manhattan was restored under her direction.

In 1967, she said: "I came along in that lovely ladies' era of decorating and just before all the talented men began emerging in the field."
