Three Arts Club - First Floor Plan - original

This is the original floor plan of the Three Arts Club first floor.  In the center is the courtyard, called here "Garden," which has a European-style fountain in the center, and French doors leading to each wing of the building.  The "enclosed porch" became known as the Tea Room, favored by the residents for its coved ceilings and meditative feel.   The room shown on the north side of the courtyard as the "Living Room" became the Ball Room, while the "Living Room" on the east  side was called the Drawing Room.  The lovely Library, in the southeast corner, remained a cozy book-filled hideaway, until recent years when the Board of Directors damaged the landmarked features of the room by removing the built-in shelving and wood decoration and emptied the room of furniture.  The Dining Room retains its castle-like wall murals.
