Did our historic home have a secret door?

A secret door in the drawing room? Let’s investigate!

In this video Den compares the current floor plan of 2315 Monument Avenue with old photographs. We think that this historic home’s drawing room once boasted a secret door that led to the library! 

This intriguing feature is similar to another William Bottomley home in RVA, the Milburne estate, which is also rumored to have its own hidden passageway.

What do you think? Why would Bottomley have incorporated this feature into the original design? Drop your theories in the comments below!
