Vestibule (Ballroom)


 

The main hallway terminates in the Vestibule, which is decorated with two forty- feet long marine scenes viewed over simulated stone or masonry balustrades. These views which celebrate the birthplaces of Mr. And Mrs. Greenlaw, depict Edinburgh from the Firth of Forth and Sydney Harbour’s north shore featuring Cremorne, Kurraba and Kirribilli Points.

This room was originally furnished with a variety of upholstered seating including settees, couches and easy chairs as well as a 10-foot telescope dining table and a dinner wagon. There was also a large mahogany loo table and an old Spanish mahogany writing davenport as well as a range of other occasional furniture.

A 40 foot long panoramic view of Sydney Harbour decorates one wall of the vestibule.
