Project: Sound Insulation and Restored Rooms at Elm Court

The butler’s pantry of Elm Court has a larger footprint than some US homes.

Bob tours one of the Vanderbilt family’s most elegant dining rooms. The Berles have restored the ornate plasterwork ceilings and cornices, which were the inspiration for New York’s Grand Central Station’s ceiling.

Bob joins Sonya and Bob Berle, owners of Elm Court, for a tour of the ornate grand parlor.

Bob meets with Joe Adams and Ralph McGrath in the media room of Elm Court. Adams and McGrath are installing a sound-attenuating grid-ceiling system from Owens-Corning.
