Alfredo servants' bedroom
This bedroom is north of the washroom and west of the stairwell. It is mostly directly above the ballroom on the ground floor.
Purpose / Function
Previously the bedroom half of the private suite for Ludwig and Mia de Alfredo, this room now provides quarters for the three house servants.
Entries
Because it was originally the bedroom half of a suite, this bedroom has three doors, two of which open into the room:
- one door to the hallway on the east wall near the northeast corner;
- one door in the center of the north wall that is mostly kept closed tight, that originally provided parents direct access to the youngest child's bedroom;
- one bedroom in the center of the south wall, usually kept closed, that provides direct access to the washroom. This is the door that opens away from the room, which makes it the only one which could hypothetically be blocked from inside the bedroom by shoving furniture against the door.
On the center of the west wall is a double-hung window, usually open at night and closed during the day.
Contents & Furnishings
The double beds in this room are among the newest furniture in the entire house: Big Lui de Alfredo ordered them from a mail catalogue when he and Big Mauri agreed to renovate the suite to create a washroom and give the domestic servants a more temperature-stable bedroom. The bedframe closest to the south wall has storage drawers built into its base; the bedframe closest to the north wall, which also has storage drawers built into its base, is a two-level bunk bed with the access ladder built into the foot of the bed on the east end.
Big Lui presumes that the person using the upper bed has the lion's share of drawer space in the dresser that occupies the northeast corner of the room between two of the doors to this room. Whatever arrangements the servants make among themselves is not the Alfredo siblings' concern. The de Alfredos are scrupulous about keeping their curiosity out of the servants' private room.
This room has no rugs over the wooden floor, but each wall has at least two framed pictures on it.
