Crow's Nest

The mountains seen from the room called the Crow\'s Nest

This room was named the "Crow's Nest" by Mrs. Sandburg's brother, Edward Steichen.  He likened the room to the lookout on a naval ship because of the beautiful mountain views the family enjoyed from the large window.  Carl Sandburg considered using this room for a study, but decided the view was too distracting.
