The formal dining room is the only room in the house that is furnished with pieces from the Wrigley era. The walls are lined with figured crotch mahogany, imported from the Phillipines (the wood is now extinct.) The painting on the right is a 1899 portrait of the 1907 Rose Queen, Joan Hadenfeldt Woodbury. The ornate plastered ceiling is known as a "Stimson" ceiling, a design detail the architect would later become famous for.
