Sandburg's Bedroom

Carl wanted his study and bedroom located on the west side of the house because he knew that he would be working throughout the night and sleeping late in the morning and he did not want the rising sun to disturb this routine.

After waking in mid-morning, he exercised, doing calisthenics using Indian clubs seen resting against the chair, listening to classical or folk music on his phonograph player, and reading a little before coming downstairs for the day. Clippings of interesting articles and images from magazines hang pinned to the wall.
