Decipher room names top right (above ‘Family Bedroom’)
This is a screenshot of a video on the history of Muckross House, a Victorian manor house in County Kerry in Ireland. Unfortunately I can’t get a higher resolution image than that.
It shows a portion of William Burns’ original drawings for the mansion before it was simplified in a redesign. I tried asking AI but that can’t make it out either and was making impossible suggestions.
I can read everything except for the rooms across/above the corridor from ‘family bedroom.’ Top-rightmost rooms in the image. For context, these rooms are directly above the kitchen, scullery and larder in the basement so they may have been associated with the service area of the mansion rather than the principal rooms.
The other rooms, if it helps decipher the writing, are (anticlockwise from top left)
Luggage room
Mr Herbert’s sitting room
Stairs
Safe
Entrance Hall
Billiard room
WC
stairs
(Indecipherable circular room, probably a servery or warming room attached to the formal dining room because it’s beside a service staircase that connects to the wine cellar and kitchen access corridors)
Dining room
Main stair
Corridor
Library
Drawing room
Boudoir
Wardrobe
WC
Dress room
WC
Staircases
Family bedroom
… mystery rooms
I think the tiny room cut off the very edge of the image beginning with L may be Linen storage
I speculated about “Liveries” for the middle one
No idea on the room beginning with S. Seems to have 2 words in the name.
The rooms aren’t part of the restored rooms open to the public, so can’t get any clues from the 3D tour of the house that’s available online, and I’m just interested in what their original intended function was anyway as opposed to what they’re used for now, if anything.
Thoughts?
