Slide Right - The Entrance Hall in 2004, as it looked for several administrations before O'Malley's. It featured a Waterford chandelier that was selected during William Donald Schaefer's administration (1987-1995).

Slide Left - During O'Malley's administration, the house was restored to its 1930s color scheme. The lantern chandelier that hung in the Entrance Hall during the 1930s was reinstalled, replacing the Waterford chandelier.
