4th Bedroom

The 4th bedroom is somewhat smaller than the other three, but is an average sized bedroom by normal standards. It was originally the "maid's room" and is positioned by the back stairs that lead to the kitchen! This room has not been refinished, and has original wallpaper! More pictures are available upon request. It is pretty much wall to wall books right now, as it is being used as an office.
