Welcome to the Carriage room - which also doubles as a handicapped room. The doors are wider with lever handles and brass railings strategically located but decorated so you don’t notice them. This room was the garage and housed the Parkes dual cowl 1936 Packard Phaeton. On the outside you can still see the garage doors.
