East Gallery

Along with the Garden Court, Oval Room, and Music Room, the East Gallery was created for the conversion of the mansion into a museum. Classical elements such as the arched portal with its elegant keystone and the fluted Ionic pilasters supporting a graceful entablature reflect decorative details in the original mansion.
