The Peacock Room
At the end of this east wing of the main floor is the octagonally shaped Peacock Room. With its baby grand piano and cappuccino bar, this unique space is perfect for entertaining large groups. The room has 11' x 15' arched windows which weigh some 12 hundred pounds each. From the center of the ceiling, 43 feet above the floor, an eight-foot tall "pendant" lighting fixture is suspended. The ceiling mural was painted by James Chadwick of Atlanta. The table in the center of the room is carved from English limestone and weighs four thousand pounds. It sits atop a steel beam buried in bedrock under the home.
