Living Room

Living Room

The Living Room extends across the entire south end of the first floor. It mirrors in size and plan the Dining Room to the north. A wide doorway, fitted with large sliding doors, is centered in the recess in the north wall, connecting the room to the South Foyer and the Hall beyond. Directly across from that doorway is a wide glazed doorway flanked by two smaller glazed doors, leading to the south porch. There are two windows in the east wall, and a mirroring pair of windows in the west wall. The composition of the ceiling and the placement of the door openings visually divide the room into three bays or areas; this effect is enhanced by the marble fireplaces symmetrically placed at the east and west ends of the south wall, thereby anchoring the east and west bays.
