LOGGIA

The loggia separates the north and south salons and leads to the ballroom. The vaulted ceiling features a chinoiserie design hand-painted canvas, highlighting the numerous animals and wildlife of which Marland was so fond.

BALLROOM

Of palatial size and style, the room is crowned with a pattern featuring gold leaf. Lighting for this magnificent room is through the sparkle of antique Waterford crystal chandeliers with wrought iron bases, imported from Ireland. To replace the ceiling and the chandeliers today would cost $2 million. Rich tapestries decorated the walls in Marland's time.

Hanging on the north wall are the portraits of E.W. Marland, above the fireplace, and Mrs. Lydie Marland, dressed in a Spanish dance costume purchased for her by E.W..
