illuminated stairway leads to this level.
Two
south-facing windows bathe this room in light. The room is also
lit from the back of the building.
Bookshelves
constructed on either side of the fireplace are a feature of
this room. These free-standing shelves are unusual in that they
have been constructed in the Florentine tradition, using rods
of iron drilled deep into the outside wall, making this shelving
suitable for very heavy tomes.

/ couch) and two Art Deco armchairs (newly upholstered) which
at present are located in the Dining Room downstairs.

The
