Welcome to the Sea Room.  Recently completed paint analysis has shown that the walls have always been this bright, a color historically known as Mars Yellow.  The freize on the entablature is an alternating pattern of sea shells and fishes, based loosely on the Roman Temple of Concord. We have recently learned that Fanny Blake, the wife of the house's creator, was born in the Caribbean.  Perhaps the room was decorated to suit her tastes.  In any case, the remainder of the furniture is a mix of French and English and dates to the Victorian period.  The portrait on the wall next to the pier glass is of Hope Beadle Hall, grand daughter of the original owners.
