West Portico entrance

Brass wall covering.

The entrance to the hallway from the west is similar to the front entrance, through a foyer or vestibule and into the hallway. The west entrance is by way of the portcochere. Note the interesting chandeliers, lit by gas or electricity, which compliment the Main Hallway and ornate metalwork of the hallway fireplace. The “lion’s paw feature” in furniture, is to be repeated in several places in the mansion.
