Conservatory - Eastman House

Another look at the Consevatory. This is a room of grand proportions at the Eastman House. This room was expanded in 1919 when George Eastman decided that this room was too small for his needs. To enlarge this room the house was cut in half, moving the rear portion back nine feet, four inches. The table where Eastman was served his breakfast is located in this room. There is an Aeolian pipe organ in the rear of this room, behind a tiered bank of potted plants, which conceals it from view. The organ pipes are located behind lattice work on the second and third floors. George Eastman employed an organist to play while he ate his breakfast. There is a hanging planter - chandelier over the table. The walls are limestone and the floor is marble. There are abundant plants and flowers in the room. The elephant head is a replica of the original head from a 1928 safari. Located at the George Eastman House & Gardens, 900 East Ave in Rochester, NY.
