The Front Hall is overly elaborate. Perfect for this scale of an event. Off to each side directly as you enter are two coat closets, each with its own servant ready to take your coats and cloaks for safekeeping. Down the middle is a wide dark red rug, upon which other guests are mingling and dividing into subgroups. All the way at the back is a large painting of the current Lady Eldridge, surrounded by paintings of all her children and grandchildren. See more
