Overview
The first floor Drawing Room was named for Marjorie Merriweather Post, who donated for its original renovation. An irregularly shaped room featuring the largest and most prominent corner polygonal bay, the Post Drawing Room retains a richly veined pink marble hearth below the fireplace mantle that suggests Art Nouveau in its carved detail. The room was recently renovated in 2012 and hold approximately 60 theatre style (with the piano moved out.)
