This is a complete paneled library from the Charles Bell Lake Minnetonka estate, built in 1939. Charles Bell was the son of the founder of General Mills, and was the president and chairman there for 47 years. This library is entirely in butternut wood, and features include a bay window, secret panel doors, and plenty of storage. This room can only truly be appreciated in person, so please visit us if you can!
This library could also be considered the room in your house with the most storage! Visibly, there are 4 separate book cases with shelves. Each book case along with the large panels also have small cupboards underneath with a variety of storage types.
On each side of the fireplace keys stick in between the woodwork and open up secret storage behind the large panels on either side. Different shelving styles are present in each section, as shown on left.
Above is the key in action.
*The paned windows and marble fireplace were not salvaged, where you see outlets and vent covers those have been removed
