Upstairs Hall

The upstairs is a family area and its woodwork is not as fancy as that downstairs. Even the ceilings are a foot lower. Just the same, this part of the house is far, far nicer than what the vast majority of area residents could ever hope to own.

The upstairs hall is has entrances leading to the master bedroom and to the small unheated bed chamber that probably served as the room for a slave who acted as a personal attendant or who was in charge of the children.

There is also an enclosed staircase leading to the garret.
The upstairs hall was sometimes used as sleeping quarters for slaves who had accompanied their visiting owners and who acted as valets or personal maids.
