Part 8/12:
The home’s public spaces maintain a balance between aesthetic beauty and functionality. The dining room features wooden paneling and a high coffered ceiling, while the living room connects seamlessly with the sunroom, adorned with decorative moldings and large windows. The design emphasizes light, space, and comfort.
Culinary and Service Areas
Behind the scenes, a modern kitchen equipped with the latest 1920s appliances—stoves, water heating systems, and sinks—catered to the household's needs. The staff’s quarters, a dedicated service wing, included a storeroom, laundry, and a billiards room where Paul Watkins and friends could entertain late into the night.
