History

 The Willow Room is one of the guest rooms in Moorside, up on the second floor of the house. It was a favourite of his closest friends, and King himself would sleep in here regularly if he didn't have guests.

I liked this painting.

And this old record player on the second floor landing.

As much as the estate was a retreat for him, King had to bring work with him as prime minister, leading the country during two of the country's crisis periods- the second half of the Depression and World War Two. One room up here was his private secretary's office space. King himself was a contradiction- staunch Scottish Presbyterian with an interest in spiritualism and a sentimental streak. This room was occasionally used for seances.

The master bedroom is nearby. 

Reproductions of works by the Group of Seven can be found.

And here's the master bed, with an ornate radio cabinet in the background.

A look out the window towards the gardens. We'll pick up here tomorrow.
