Amazing place! The Nanny's room is a Sun Room. Warm in winter with lots of natural light. It would have been used as a sleeping porch in the summer with all the windows open for breezes. It would have been been a miserable bedroom in 1879. Extreme temps and very exposed with all the surrounding windows. Nice video Joe. Cheers!
I went through this house with my grandmother , who was in her 90s at the time. She knew what many of the items were in the house, even ones the guide didn't know, because she grew up in a large house in the early 1900s herself. What a lovely mansion it is.
The Ellwood home has some beautiful features. I don't think I have ever seen a staircase with a balcony before. And that living rooms fireplace is magnificent. Obviously they were living much differently than most of all the rest of the country of the times.
Middle ages - roughly 400 to 1400. The Tudor period was 1485 to 1603. A Tudor revival cannot, by derfinition, be "middle ages" - you're off by about a 1000 year period of time, that's quite a margin of error. I'm very skeptical that what you call a "nanny's room" is that at all, it appears to be a sleeping porch (a pre-airconditioning option for summer), and would be absolutely miserable in cold months for sleeping. I distrust everything you said afterwards as it seems like you're just making this up and saying it out loud. It would be a very poor household, that had the cook in charge of the wine for example - the etymology of Butler is 'keeper of the bottles'. Cooks were also rarely in charge of staff outside the kitchen, any reasonably good sized house would have a housekeeper in charge of most of the staff, including the cook. I'm also skeptical about the "cooks bedroom" - staff bedrooms were usually locaeted in the atics and were tiny and basic.
Thanks for your comment. The narrative says it was in the style of middle age homes. That’s why it called Tudor revival. It was called the Nannie’s room by the head docent. Yes. Normally it was the butler. I asked about that. This is a rare case where the cook took the place of the butler This was all verified by the estate. Thanks again for your comments
The narrative did say the cooks room was on the top floor. Many Victorian homes I have documented over the years have the head housekeeper a large room. Many even had a phone. As she was the head housekeeper as well as head cook, she got the cool stuff. Joe

Yes. It’s a beautiful home I’m happy you enjoyed it
Both the woodwork and stained glass windows are simply lovely
The music is a bit too loud….
