The dining room, once the frequent site of lavish entertaining including dinners for Presidents Taft and Cleveland, contains French wallpaper printed from 1814 wood blocks and installed in 1893. The panels depict the Love story of Cupid and Psyche. The room’s elegantly carved gray marble mantlepiece was removed from “Grandmother Peabody’s” bedroom in Salem.
