One enters the Master Bedroom from the Library. There
is a fourteen foot ceiling with Italian carrera marble mantle reclaimed from
an Antebellum mansion which had been destroyed by fire in Natchez,
Mississippi, circa 1818, with hand painted surround and summer screen
representing al the colors of the room. The duplicate Italian marble mantel
is located in the “Gone With The Wind “room. Above is a hand painted French
gilded trumeau.
The arched bay represents the Greek Revival symmetry,
matching the west by “Gone With The Wind Room.” The entire front of the home
is symmetrical. From the foyer to the west, the same dimensions of the rooms
are duplicated on the east side of the foyer. On the east side of the Foyer
is this Master Bedroom. This Master Bedroom is large and has a Bedroom Annex
on the north side of the room with two double doors into the annex from
which one enters.
The Master Bedroom Annex is furnished with dressers and
armoires and a French antique settee. Adjoining the annex is the kitchenette
and “Her” closet. Going north through the kitchenette, one enters the area
where there is a lavatory, bidet, and another sink. This room is the
original northeast corner of the home. From this point, new construction was
done, and one steps down one step into the construction of the Master
Bedroom.
