Across the hall from the headquarters room is the mansion's music room. A grand pianoforte, once owned by a neighboring plantation family, almost occupies the entire room. Musical talent was considered a sign of gentility among the planter class, and many planters went to the expense of having their children taught to play an instrument. The music room has wall-to-wall reproduction carpeting of a geometrical trellis design and garnet velvet curtains; thus, shaping the acoustics of the room. Restored pocket doors lead into the adjoining dining room.
