Field Visit: Ashland

Hey, guys! So I recently went on a field visit to the Henry Clay Estate in Ashland. While I was there, I went on a tour to look around and sketch the fireplaces in every room. I noticed that most of them had the same features but were different colors, or that they had specific designs depending on the use of their room that they were located in.
The material used on all of the fireplaces throughout the house is Italian marble. The symbolism behind this material is the Clay family's wealth, power, and class. However, the most intricate fireplace is in Drawing Room, which is because it's the main area that the guests would spend their time when visiting the Clays. Throughout the rest of the house, many of the fireplaces looked the same in style, but the color sometimes varied. An example of this lies between the Library (middle gray), the Study (black and gray), and the McDowell Girls' room (coral orange). Overall, the fireplaces all have about the same styles throughout each room and the same kind of marble is used on each one.
Below are images of the sketches I took on the house tour.
