THE DINING ROOM features a neoclassical theme, from the wallpaper to the furnishings and fireplace mantle. A dining room table and several Federal style chairs and a sideboard occupy most of the room. Positioned between the pier, the wall space between two windows, is a gilded pier mirror. The mirror is strategically placed to reflect and maximize the light from a large candelabra positioned on the table. It would have been common to open the pocket doors during a party, allowing music to filter in from the music room. Most of the furniture could be pushed aside or taken into the hall to accommodate an evening dance.
