Fireplace
This picture is of Main Dining Room, looking west from Breakfast Room.
The large double doors at far end of room lead into the "Main Vestibule"
which in turn opens onto the west porch.
The wall panels are corded silk damask. Note the fireplace which was
the heating method for many locations before installation of Central
heating about 1906 or 1907.
The carpet is a heavy long velour of Burgundy red color.
Originally, this dining room constituted the driveway for carriages or
buggies. It is now at the rear of the house from west to east. In the
early 1890s Jule built a large stable about 200 yards north of the Folly
on the other side of Salem Street. Then all the south portion of the house
formerly devoted to stables was converted to other uses, some of which are
shown in this picture.
At extreme left of picture (only a small part showing), is a door
looking into the "Sewing Room". At extreme right of picture (not shown) is a door
leading into pantry. At far right side of picture is a door which leads
down into the completely tiled wine room and storage room below ground
level – where the temperature remains substantially the same all year
round.
