Interesting fact: this bedroom is also known as "The General's
Quarters". (It is the room behind the red, white, and blue panel on the
front of the house.) The thing that is interesting about this room is
that you must step up into the room because it was built OVER the
ORIGINAL Oak Cottage. The original Oak Cottage was exactly the
size of this room - and consisted only of the amount of space in the
formal parlor below this room (also 12' x 20'). We know this because
when we removed the plaster ceiling from the formal parlor **the
framing for the original hip roof on the original Oak Cottage** was still
there! THAT explained why the bedroom above was built at an
elevated level. This solved one mystery. But a remaining mystery also
involves this room. While we have a theory, we still have not
determined (with any proof) why the epaulet type panel is on the
outside of the house in front of this window. But, I suppose a house
this fascinating is entitled to hold a mystery or two.
