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.

In the left hand corner, a globular light fixture descends into the picture. |
