First Floor

• Entrance Hall: Dominated by the massive paneled stair hall with twin staircases that lead up, this is the entry foyer for the house. Though it clearly used to be more opulent, it still has an air of distinct class, even if there are obvious spots on the walls where art used to hang.
• Main Office: Once Luther's office, this has turned into the main office for the Phoenix Foundation. Eloise can usually be found her during "office hours," as can any given member of the Foundation team. Gone are the old rickety computer and dated decorations - it is now an elegant office space, with a sleek new computer and all the administrative amenities Eloise could ever need.
• Board Room: Once the house's billiards room, it is now dominated by a single large table, including a video conferencing set-up. There are small desks along the wall where members of the Foundation often set up temporary "shop" on the rare occasions when they're working from the Danford House.
• Library: Most of the truly valuable books for the Hunt have been culled from this room (and are in the book cage downstairs, in the War Room), leaving it a genteel place where Eloise can entertain guests both personal and professional. It's still her favorite retreat on cold nights.
• Drawing Room: A room very nearly taller than it is wide, the formerly-shabby drawing room now has a good deal of its antiques returned or replaced, and a grand wet bar installed in one corner. It still doesn't see a great deal of use, but is ready for visitors when the Phoenix Foundation throws its rare events here.
• Media Room: Something of a "living room" for the household, Eloise has allowed Robert to bring in a sofa, entertainment center and other such furnishings for this room. This tends to be where "after dinner television" nights are held communally.
• Gallery: Though Eloise never managed to replace the original art from this room, she has decorated it with paintings purchased from Detroit artists, particularly those depicting hopeful themes of renewal for their city.
• Reception Room: A seventy-foot long, twenty-foot high ballroom with walnut paneling, gilded cornices and multiple fireplaces, as well as an impressive elevated bandstand. It has seven French doors that open out onto the back lawn and overlooks a wide, pastoral scene.
• Terrace: Freshly scrubbed and upkept, the gorgeous stone of the terrace is once more ready to host outdoor parties and barbecues.
• Formal Dining Room: Though the formal dining room has been aired out, scrubbed thoroughly, and given a make-over including new furniture, Eloise hasn't found much need for the full formal set-up. The advent of dinner parties makes this something of an inevitability, however.
• Informal Dining Room: This room serves as the household's dining room. Eloise is very strict about the eating of meals in the dining room, insisting that watching television or doing something else while eating not only causes indigestion, but is a mark of low breeding.
• Kitchen: This room serves as the household's main kitchen. Though she isn't entirely useless in the kitchen, Eloise considers herself very blessed to have help in the kitchens. Many of the appliances were starting to show their age, so the kitchen has seen something of a make-over, with a great deal of upgrading of its utility.
• Utility Room: Serving as something of a mud room and a storage place for the household's various tools.
• Garage: A very large garage, everyone in the household has space for a car here.

Second Floor

• Daniel's Room: This is Daniel's bedroom, with a profusion of closets and a private bath.
• Family Room: A simple space with sofas, television and the like, but still has loads of empty space for whatever additions Daniel, James, and Josephine would like to make to the space.
• Laundry: Laundry facilities are between the family room and bathroom, with large-sized washers and driers, an ironing press, and the like.
• James's Bedroom: This is James's bedroom, though he retains his family home primarily. Still, the space is set aside for him should he elect to use it. It has easy access to this area's bathroom.
• Oz & Wookiee's Flat: This small flat, right near the elevator, is kept by Oz and Wookiee. It has a large bathroom and its own tiny kitchen, as well as a living room with television and the bedroom (with a massive closet tucked away under the stairs outside.
• Guest Rooms 1-6: With the switch-up in the house's upkeep, these old rooms have been opened back up and can be readily prepared for guests who stay over.

Third Floor

• Master Suite: This is Eloise's bedroom. She uses the Master Bedroom Dressing Room 1 as her expanded closet and dressing space, but has turned the Dressing Room 2 into a small sitting room, where she can watch television or read, with a small comfortable space. It is not uncommon for her to end her days here, watching television or reading, polishing off a bottle of wine or so while doing so. It's also unfortunately common for her to fall asleep here. As there is a door between them, Robert knows he is always welcome to come and sit with her in the evenings, or otherwise use this space as well; as a result, he has been the one to find Eloise and put her to bed on more than one occasion.
• Second Master Suite: This is Robert's bedroom, with an adjoining sitting room that he nearly never uses.
• Josephine's Bedroom: This is Josephine's bedroom.
• Kitchen: Between the bathroom and the empty room is a full kitchen, easily the size of any found in any good apartment, with all of the best amenities. It is intended for the use of the three in this wing (Josephine, Daniel, and James)
• Empty Room: At the end of the hall, down a couple of short steps, lies a large room with ample closet space and built-in shelves. It has been used as storage in the past, and as a playroom when Eloise had boarders, but she has no real use for it at the moment, and is frankly leaving it up to Josephine, Daniel, and James to decide what to do with it.
• Guest Rooms 7 - 8: These guest rooms are set up and cleaned weekly, intended on housing visitors and guests.
• Guest Rooms 9-14: Unlike the rooms beneath them, these rooms remain closed up, though the cleaning service cleans them once a month. They are only accessible by a set of stairs from the level below - there is no door from this section to the rest of this floor.

Fourth Floor

These bedrooms remain locked and basically abandoned. What good furniture is still left in them is covered with dust-cloths, and there is no power to this entire floor. As a result, it can be a little unnerving to look up from the center of the third floor suites, up to the open railing space into this floor.

Cellar

• Storage: Though it was once loaded down with covered-over furniture and a selection of antiques, this space mostly consists of boxes of old business documents from Danford Industries, boxes full of family memoribilia, and assorted household storage needs (like Christmas decorations).
• Electrical: The house's electrical systems are consolidated in control panels and circuit boxes here. The controls for the elevator are also here.
• Infirmary: Formerly a part of the cellar's storage, this portion is accessible only through the medical storage area - it is intentionally out-of-the-way, allowing those recovering peace, quiet, and even secrecy if necessary. It has two patient tables, and cabinets full of good medical equipment. It also has very good overhead lighting, and movable lamps as well.
• Medical Storage: A space where the house's medical supplies are kept, from household utilitarian goods to actual surgical equipment. It even includes an autoclave off to one side.
• Gym: Formerly the household's wine cellars, Eloise has lined one wall with workout machines, and padded the floor, giving ample space for training in all manner of disciplines. There is even a climbing wall along the back of the space. One of the wall panels slides aside to reveal the entrance to the medical portion of the house.
• Workshop: Originally Luther's workshop, this space is now often used by Robert as he works on various projects. It is an extremely fine wood- and metal-working workshop, with plenty of other tools for various side-projects. There is a door here to a hallway that leads outside. At the end of that hallway is a secret passage into the War Room's book cage.
• War Room: The central planning space for the Hunt, the war room is set up with a huge central table, large comfortable chairs, Luther's old desk, and useful resources, like corkboards, whiteboards, and a large map of Detroit. It also has a book cage with a secret passage out into the hallway that leads out of the house.
• Armory: This is where the Hunt's weapons are stored (the Hunter Armory is stored here).
