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.
