Third Floor Stairway - Eastman House
Stairway heading to the third floor. Unfortunately it's blocked off, I would have so liked to get a look at the rooms up there. Currently the area is used as office space for the museum staff. However back in George Eastman's day it was his personal sanctum. Tucked away up there were the accounterments of his hobbies. He had a two-story room that was his study, a lab, darkroom, workshop, a billiard room, storage area for his camping accessories, and a kitchen where he experimented with dehydrating batter for biscuits for his camping trips and where he also made his famous lemon pies (the cook did not allow him in the great kitchen on the first floor). There was also a screening room where Eastman previewed new motion pictures before they were shown at the Eastman Theater. His hunting trophies were displayed on the walls of the third floor. The servant's quarters were also in this area, as well as a special living space for his neice and her family when they came for a visit. George Eastman preferred to celebrate certain hoildays with close family and friends in this area. Located in the mansion at the George Eastman House & Gardens, 900 East Ave in Rochester, NY.
