The Guest Bedroom

This room was used by overnight guests of the Van Orden Family. The location at the front of the house was considered an honor, and the room had windows and/or doors on all sides to provide good ventilation and light. A private marble sink is located in a closet on one side of the doorway, with built-in drawers for clothes on the other side. There is a private closet in the sw corner, and a doorway out to the balcony.
