First Class Staterooms
C-64: Adam Room
Three doors
came with the panelling to Cabin C-62 (Louis XIV). Two of
them were sandwiched together to form a windbreak in the
lobby of the Marquis of Granby Hotel.
When they were separated in 1999 after more than sixty
years, it was found that one lead out to the corridor as it
had the outline of the brass nameplate at its top.

see it. The other, shown below, was the dividing door
between C-62 and the neighbouring cabin, C-64 which was in
the Adam style.
Above you see the Adam side of the door, the other side is Louis XIV style.
Notice the outline of the lock on the left side. Compare it with one fitted to a cabin door at the Haltwhistle factory.
The presence of the lock and nameplate outline on each door indicate their respective positions.Thanks to Dr Damian Gardner-Thorpe, who is the proud owner of this part of the Olympic's anatomy, for the photo.
