There are many doors leading to many rooms in this hallway. At the foot of the stairs you can enter either the Parlour or the Dining room. Behind the stairs there are doors that lead to the Breakfast room and to the Sitting room. Also from here you can return to the Foyer.

Victoria used to have very cold winters. There was always some skating and some sleighing and spells of three or four days at a time when the wind from the north would pierce everything. Mother's milk pans in the dairy froze solid. We chopped ice-cream off the top to eat with our morning porridge. Meat froze, bread froze, everything in the house froze although the big hall stove was red hot and there were three or four roaring grate fires as well. Windows were frosted in beautiful patterns all day and our breath smoked."
