The library is a beautifully proportioned room, finished entirely in light oak. A fine marble mantel and large mirror surmount the fireplace. All of the remaining wall space is devoted to book shelving, at the top of which is a dado of carved oak with a series of symbolic panels representing literature, art, music, drama, architecture, science, agriculture, etc. All of the wood carvings and interior fittings for this room were made in France and put in place by men sent over from Europe especially for this work.
