Show This is the Ferry Hall Lounge. The floor has patterned carpet. A wood baseboard lines the edge where the floor meets the white wall. Below a window on the left wall, there is a small stand with a potted plant on it; to the front of that, a rocking chair partially enters the photograph. To the right of that is a wicker couch with cushions on the back. Next to that is another plant on a stand before a window, and on the right of the photograph there is a wicker chair to match the couch. Three pictures are on the walls. In the left hand corner, a globular light fixture descends into the picture. |

Mounted on sturdy paper. Photo is in excellent condition. A border runs around the image. On the back, "Ferry Lounge" is written in black pen.
