Reception Room

A small room with gilded furniture, ornately decorated walls, and a large marble fireplace.

The Reception Room is situated along the southwest side of the Elliptical Hall and immediately west of the Foyer leading to the Living Room. The 23' x 17' space is a small, jewel-box of a room, rectangular but for the east wall that curves into a shallow ellipse. A single doorway at the north end of the curved wall provides access from the Elliptical Hall. Elegantly-detailed French doors cover a large window opening centered in the west wall; similar doors cover the narrow window openings at the west ends of the north and south walls.
