Part 7/12:
The centerpiece of the home is the expansive great hall, characterized by pointed arch wooden trusses and intricate wood paneling. A peculiar feature here is a wooden curtain concealing a pipe organ, framed with vintage European fabric—suggesting a space designed for musical performances and large gatherings.
The Library and Study: Quiet Retreats
Beyond the hall, a discreet doorway leads to the library—an elegant room lined with built-in bookshelves and a hidden compartment for sheet music or valuables. Adjacent is the study, quiet and cozy, perfect for reading or managing affairs. The use of Gothic elements, like pointed arches and exposed beams, lends a scholarly yet warm ambiance.
