With all that money and I'm sure interior designers................but disappointed in the look
These are on the internet. Not entirely accurate floor plans. The most glaring mistake is mixing-up Malinda's room and JAR's room. The dressing room on the top floor was also John's study (not to be confused with the study on the 1st floor). The 1st floor stairs aren't displayed correctly. I need to get a life.
If this is the door on the butler's kitchen stairs, I believe this is a storage. Odd place for a closet though. You're guess is as good as mine.

It is hard for me to understand how some believe IDI, the house was a confusing, complicated mess.Yes, that door, and odd indeed (found it - 19:18 in the video). The butler's pantry was a Ramsey addition, so the wall with the door would have sat out a little from the old rear (north) wall of the house. I have wondered whether the door used to be a back entry, perhaps leading to a small hall or landing that led to the kitchen and a now disused stairway to the basement. I've read that that side of the yard had a much higher elevation before it was leveled to make way for the butler's pantry. Or maybe it's just a door they put in for a closet no longer accessible from the redesigned kitchen. I'm such a little terrier about these things. In any case, thanks for posting the videos and floor plans - nice. I appreciate this one especially because it shows exactly how the hallway by the basement stairs connects to the BP.
