The library is one of many public rooms on the first floor. In the original pictures on display, you can see Mahogany paneling, grand architecture, and a mix of informal furnishings showing this to be a summer house.
Mahogany woodwork, paneled walls, built-in bookshelves...in 1997, almost all of this woodwork was stripped from the walls after the developer bought the property. The elaborate plaster ceiling is original, one of the only ones in the house to remain almost perfectly intact. The fireplace consists of the original marble pieces which broke apart and have since been put back together.
This room was where Sarah's husband George Hale Morgan was waked in 1911 after he passed away in Lenox.
