Great Hall

The Great Hall is the focal point of the common rooms.

The original leaded, stained glass Palladium window is embedded with Austrian crystals. It graces the north side of the building, and the light filtering through the colored glass changes as the day wears on. It's quite magnificent.

The wallpaper is a reproduction William Morris "Willow" pattern, and we've papered the ceiling as well with beneficial insects: spiders and dragon flies.

We have a table filled with books we've just read ourselves (often our own Summer reading offerings), a Victrola, a massive fireplace with comfortable seating area, and our check-in desk as well.
