Hunt-Morgan House: Analysis

Hello, everyone! So today I went over to the Hunt-Morgan house for this assignment, and I found it to be very interesting. I think it's actually going to help me in one of my other classes now that I've gone!
Okay, so in this post I'm going do an analysis of the overall building based on the given prompts and then I'll put up another post with the selfie.
1) I do agree that the architectural elements (specifically) is a large part of the general design of the dining room and parlor. I feel this way because both rooms include large windows, the protruding areas in the walls, fire places, etc. If not for these elements, there'd only be basic lines throughout both rooms. However, because of the protruding walls, large windows, etc. there's now natural light, slight depth, and a sense of overall balance within both rooms.
2) The master bedroom has actually stayed the same for the most part. Within the room lies intricate lines and form from the furnishings. In the daughter's room, there was a lot going on with the dark shades of color and the heavy pattern of the wallpaper. Also, there was a sense of contrast due to the dark colors of the walls and furniture to the pale-colored fire place. The exhibit room mainly shows space (to me) just because that's all I was able to get out of it, design-wise.
