DeMenil Bedroom

On the second floor there are only three bedrooms available for viewing, and they are in the main house. Mme. DeMenil's room is over the eastern half of the ballroom.  This room contains the majority of the original DeMenil furniture, Mme. DeMenil (Sophie Chouteau) brought the half-canopy, hand-carved bed, the dresser and the dressing table with her when she married Nicholas DeMenil.

The bootjack is actually called a "modesty" bootjack, c. 1850, because it was used by ladies to shield the ankle from possible exposure while removing a boot.
