Collinwood drawing room

The Collinwood drawing room is one of the main settings featured in the 1960s Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows. It is located on the first floor of the Great House at Collinwood in the fictional town of Collinsport, Maine.

Description
The drawing room at Collinwood was the primary area of congregation in the great house. The residents of the home at any given time could routinely be found relaxing in front of the fire place or reading on the settee. The drawing room was located on the south end of the estate with large windows looking out upon nearby Widows' Hill. Access to the drawing room was through two large doors that led directly from the main foyer. There were three other known egresses from the drawing room into other areas of the house. On the right hand side of the mantle was a secret panel that was used by Gabriel Collins in 1840. Another door on the left side of the mantle led into an office/study area. A third (rarely seen) doorway led into a hall towards a small staircase.

Notes & Trivia
The foreground hallway that Roger Collins always seems to be staring off into was almost never seen because it was positioned at the spot where the camera crews would be stationed during filming. Occasionally, a character would walk towards the camera indicating that an alternative exit did in fact exist.
