An ornate chandelier with gas light style shades and many prisms dominates a photograph of the music room at Black Point. There is a painted frieze below the crown molding over the fireplace just above a large landscape painting. The fireplace surround is covered with decorative tiles. There are lace curtains at the windows in the bay at the end of the room. A lamp with a leaded glass shade is on a small table.
