In the ballroom, overlooking the marble staircase there was an area that was boarded over. We assumed they closed it off during a phase in the 60's as an insurance agency and the space was partitioned off into offices. Delightfully, when we (Liz's Dad) removed the sheetrock, it revealed an original banister in black and a Rapunzel perch! A significant amount of additional light now streams into the space next to the fire place.
