Servants Hall
This hall, which was designed so servants could access the entire house without passing through family area, contains maids' aprons with paintings of hands at work. There are also half-aprons with embroidered quotes. The windows held framed quotations from 19th century sermons such as:

"The highest reward God gives for good work is the ability to do better"
