The media room is part of a three story 1927 addition to the back of the house. Originally constructed at the same width as the front sitting room with an adjoining covered arched colonnade porch. Fifty years later, the porch was enclosed, the windows and French doors were removed and half the porch was raised to the level of the existing floor.

In 2019, the massive brick columns and upper brickwork were removed to create a truly integrated space. Six inch steel posts were welded to the massive I beam in the garage already supporting the weight of the porch cement. Above the posts, large angle irons slipped under the bricks (one side at a time) and then welded together to create three spans of I beams that were in turn welded to the top of the steel posts. All this was done without almost any damage to the historic limestone mortar carrying many tons of suspended brick wall on the 2nd floor.

The four steel posts have been encapsulated in custom Arts and Crafts columns, two of which were turned on a massive CNC controlled lathe, cut in half and then reattached. The pedestals contain stadium seat lighting for theater viewing.

Replacing the plate glass arched windows in 2019 was particularly challenging because of the uneven brickwork, large size, and stylistic discontinuity with a typical Arts and Crafts home. The arches were the most significant deviation from the overall style of the house. The arched interior molding was made on site using bendable slivers of wood wrapped and glued around a template. This process has the advantage of mimicking the rift cut straight section of trim. Once the design of the windows reflecting the Arts and Crafts lines was solved a door could be built to replace the makeshift rectangular door from 1977.

The door was then a technical and sourcing problem since there were very few artisans capable of making a suitable door of that size, in an exposed wall, for a reasonable price that would be guaranteed to function over the years. Eventually a manufacturer in Poland was found. The door is almost twice the thickness and weight of a normal entry door with a thermal break core and gaskets and German hinges that can be adjusted in six different directions.

In floor hydronic heating laid over radiant barrier and terracotta porch is the primary source of heat. For the coldest months there are three large original historic radiators that have been powder coated and aggregated from other parts of the house to supply heat because of the uninsulated walls.

The colonnade wall has been left unplastered as an acknowledgement of the house’s history and the Arts and Crafts esthetic of unrefined natural building materials. The rustic fireplace on the opposite wall reflects that same esthetic and color tones in contrast to the formal fireplace in the sitting room.

One of the most important art pieces in the house is first numbered, full size autographed print of Jenny and Dai Vaughan's geso "Homage to the Seven Princesses" that was based on Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh's "The Seven Princesses" from 1906. The original is a three panel geso that is six meters wide that was hidden behind a false wall in the MAK museum basement in Vienna to escape destruction from the Nazi's during WWII.

The large mica light is a Van Erp replica and the sconces are a modern riff on the medieval torch. The piano is an outstanding Sterling upright grand made from old growth quartersawn oak with intricate carving from the 1890’s.
