This was a sitting room once. Outfitted in an antique and elaborate style, the walls are hung with intricate tapestries and decorative moldings that still retain their heavy gilding. Little furniture remains now and the fireplace shows where much of it ended up, to judge from the bits of gilded brass that were once handles and knobs and such among the ashes.
