Study
This was a very small room that my classmate Hilary and I explored. As we learned, this was where Mr. Shippen did all of his daily reading. This was also a common place for the furnace workers to have a conversation with Mr. Shippen. The room has a Dutch door that leads outside, so the workers are able to speak to the manager without bothering the rest of the family. There are also 2 maps of Belvedere (1856) and Oxford (1778). Despite the room’s small size, it was a very interesting room.

Dutch Doors

This door is actually two doors: a top and a bottom. The furnace workers would open the top half so the rest of the family isn’t disturbed.
