An informal entry hall features traditional elements, including a Federal style bench and diamond patterned wallpaper, as well as personal touches, including a family portrait, a seashell area rug, and a cheeky chicken sculpture.

The dining table and contrasting upholstered chairs reside under an octagonal-shaped cupola with sixteen-light iron candelabra chandelier. The windows in the cupola are remote for ease of opening and closing.
