Part 8/12:
The estate’s architectural grandeur was matched by its luxurious interiors. The grand staircase foyer, lined with polished stone and illuminated by crystal chandeliers, welcomed visitors. To the right was a men’s sitting room decorated with rich wood paneling and floral motifs, while the ladies' reception salon boasted pale-painted walls accented with gold leaf. The dining room was designed to host elaborate dinners, with a extendable table set with decorative wood and fine china.
The estate also featured a stately library lined with built-in bookshelves and leather-wrapped walls, exemplifying Durant’s tastes for elegance and sophistication.
