this is just an idea, but does the WI State Hist. Soc. of magazine
and/or catalogs from that period? They would show ads, etc.
I have pics from my grandparents home in the 1920's, and curtains appear
to be pretty much lacy straight hanging - kinda an off white. Don't
know if they were purchased that color, or just got that color from age.
And the Governor's Mansion should have pics from when the first one was
built. After all, we became a state in 1848!

We are trying to find out what curtains or drapes in all rooms of a
house would have looked like in 1908. Can anyone give me a resource to
check for this?
