On the second floor under the sky light of the Grand Staircase are architectural elements taken from significant buildings before they were demolished. My grandfather was a talented carpenter and cabinet maker who worked on buildings from White City (1893) to St. Peters Church in the 1950's. I always wonder if any of the carved elements on the wall where done by him.
I see the worn areas on the marble steps and remember walking them with my parents. Today my youngest daughter has met me at the museum and we walk down those same steps together. (Part 2 0f 3)
