Rathskeller room / Ground Floor:

The Rathskeller, or beer garden, is located on the ground floor, or basement.
Sadler, who once campaigned for governor, entertained top national politicians in the Rathskeller, which is enclosed by double thick concrete walls, and two hallway doors that kept staff and others out during important meetings.
The rathskeller is a masterpiece in the heart of the building with its concave, cathedral-like ceilings, heavy doors decorated with Tiffany amber mouth blown glass roundels. The roundels are art pieces that have been spun into a circular shape, often irregular. They are colorful exciting glass that added an interest to the stained glass creations and unusual compartment. The Rathskeller is arguably the most architecturally compelling room in the mansion.
