After the boat trip from Saint Marys, the Ranger gathered everyone together in front of the Mansion. Here is the Great Hall finished.  You can go here to see it being renovated. Here is the Library. You can see construction photos here and here.
Here in the Drawing Room, or Gun Room, or Music Room (I have seen it called different things) this is a finished gun rack.

Construction Photo.

On the other side of the Drawing Room is the doll house. This alabaster light fixture is in the Gallery.
This is the annunciator that would alert the staff that a person in room ??? would require attention.

Located in the Butler's Pantry.

Also in the Butler's Pantry are these china cabinets. There are rows and rows of cup hooks in the shelves. Finally, in the Butler's Pantry is this wonderful sink.  Please expand this so you can see how they did the drains in the middle of the sink.
 
Here is the Master Bedroom. The Ranger made an interesting observation about the size of the bed.  She said that the bed was shorter than we have today because they would sleep propped up.  They did this because of breathing problems caused by burning coal.

During rennovation.

 

  Speaking of coal, here is a coal burning fireplace in the Dressing Room.
 

The Gallery room with the very interesting book case on the side.  The wallpaper is original, stabilized, cleaned and patched, but not restored.
