The Billiard Room 
The Billiard Room is in the front turret. It features a 9 foot table, spectator chairs, and a game table.

The Living Room
The Living Room provides the guests with a stereo, TV, and VCR. The fireplace provides warmth and a romantic atmosphere on chilly days.

 

The Dining Room  
A full breakfast is served at the civilized 
hour of 9 am. On chilly days, the 
fireplace adds warmth.

 

The Snuggery 
The men would retire here after dinner for cigars and brandy. The brandy is still provided, however, no cigars. Decorated in a golf motif, enjoy the fire on cool days. A cozy room in which to relax and read.

The Hall Ceiling  
The Mansion abounds with intricate woodwork. The hall ceiling, done in walnut, is just one example of the craftsmanship present throughout.

 

The Hall Fireplace
The Mansion contains seven original fireplaces. All but one are functional. The hall fireplace is an excellent example of the unique tile surrounds, and fine mantles present in many of the rooms.

The Hat Rack  
The unique hat rack, seat, and mirror is located in the main hall at the bottom of the steps. The ladies and gentlemen can check to make sure they are properly attired.      

The Call Box
Located in the kitchen, the call box would inform the servants where they were required. It is still functional today, indicating which doorbell has been rung. The first floor rooms are also connected. Alas, no servants to respond.



The Main Staircase
 
The main staircase is made of walnut. At the foot is an ornate newel post and lamp. The lamp, as were all the lights in The Mansion were originally gas. Three stained glass windows grace the staircase. At Christmas, a large tree extends to the second floor.
