hallway to the drawing room...

The drawing room is where family and guests were taken a bit like the den of our day.This view was quite subdued and we had to STAY with the group of visitors ,I always tend to try to be last to capture what I can without causing a disturbance ,also we were asked to stay on the carpet so it was trying to capture a scene without a person or the guide asking me to hurry along .lol! Much easier to get the scene correct in the camera first! Not much for photoshop but am willing to learn...terribly happy they allowed cameras inside!!

 

The reason the owners agreed to sell after some time was REPAIRS were so costly in a 10,000 square foot home and the roof leaked terribly.Vandalism was also of great concern,in the drawing room the facade of the fireplace the mantel had been removed due to this!
