By the Chimney with Care...
... and what a chimney it is! The fireplace in Marble House's Gothic Room was inspired by the chimney hood in the house of a 15th century French merchant. The stained glass windows and collection of Medieval and Renaissance objects in the room definitely give visitors the sense of being in a different time and place. And the room's towering Christmas tree ensures that you'll gaze upward and admire the fabulously detailed ceiling, as well.
