Elizabeth's study was where Elizabeth Collins Stoddard conducted most of her business affairs concerning the Collins Fishing Fleet and Cannery. Being a recluse, Elizabeth had not set foot out of Collinwood ever since the death of her husband, Paul Stoddard. As such, she handled all business-related affairs almost exclusively from this office. Like nearly every other room in Collinwood, the study maintained a fully stocked liquor cabinet with a fresh supply of sherry – a favored drink at the great house.
