The library has retained much of its original
character; the mantel
and the dentil molding date to the construction
of the house in 1799.

The foyer's trompe l'oeil painted floor appears
to be made of marble.
Its design features a compass rose, which pays
homage to Gracie's
success as a shipping merchant.

The patent-yellow parlor is part of the circa
1810 addition to the
house, and provided the Gracie family with more
room in which to
entertain guests at their renowned parties.
