What I Thought Casa Loma Would Look Like by Warren P. We thought it would look like a regular castle but not as fancy as it was. Great Hall: It has 60 foot high ceilings. This room is the main area of the castle. Library: This room has different pieces of wood that have different shades. This makes the floor a different colour in each spot. The ceiling has shelves with Pellatt's Coat of Arms all around the room. Serving Room: The Serving Room is sometimes used as a Breakfast Room. Peacock Alley: Peacock Alley is a passageway that is made of cement. It goes to the gardens outside. |
