This is a narrow, two-room office at the end of the hall, remarkable for pristine, vintage decor in a building that has otherwise seen a lot of hard use. Like something out of the 1920s, the warm shades of wood panels and floor practically glow with careful tending and polishing. The elaborate, almost black crown moulding and dark brown baseboards contrast powerfully with the bright, honey gold stain of the furniture and upper panels. There's only one window, sitting at the back of the main office, with an old-fashioned pull-down shade to regulate the light it lets in. Bronze curtains drape gracefully from an iron curtain rod near the ceiling.
The furniture is also minimal; a small desk sits slanted from the wall, the dark leather chair angled to allow the person behind it to keep their back in a corner while still facing the door. A high-backed, padded bench - long enough to sleep on - is against one wall, while the wall across from it has two doors. One leads to a shallow, small coat closet, while the other goes to, of all things, a small bathroom with antique furnishings, including a claw-footed tub. In the main room, an antique cabinet has been converted to hold files. The front door of the office is frosted glass, complete with a transom, and in simple, black letters, proclaims: Clayton Investigations.
