Description:The building on the left is the conservatory. Originally with Italianate windows, the conservatory was used to cultivate and display exotic plants and ferns. To the right is the West Court, a semi circular building which backed onto the Porte Cochere, the main west entrance to the hall. On the extreme right would have been another entrance hall and stairway. The lawned area in the foreground was once a library and a billiard room.
Much of this part of the hall was redesigned by Charles Barry in 1834.
