Part 7/10:
The estate’s grandeur was evident from the entrance—two massive doors opened to a grand staircase that spiraled over square marble floors, illuminated by Tiffany stained-glass windows. The interior boasted oak paneling imported from Bohemia, intricate plasterwork, and meticulously crafted rooms. The dining room, with its painted walls and handcrafted ceiling, exemplified the craftsmanship of the era, while the breakfast nook’s curved walls and French doors showcased refined detail.
The master suite was equally impressive, with separate bedrooms for Mr. and Mrs. Colby—each designed to reflect status and comfort, even though they were private. The estate contained countless luxurious parlors, bedrooms, and common areas, all meticulously finished to reflect Harry’s taste and affluence.
