A "mystery doorway"
Behind the back wall of this shower are the remains a doorway
leading into The Terrace Room.
In the early 1960s the door frame was still in The Terrace Room,
but the doorway itself had long since been plastered in.
In 1980 House Manager Norman Gritsch, Al-'79. removed the frame
when he was constructing the Terrace Room's bar area.

The re-building of the bathroom in 2002
allowed photos to be taken of what remains
of the private doorway that had existed
between this bathroom and its adjoining bedroom.

For a possible reason why there was such a doorway,
