As the former dressing room of Mrs. Smith, this room was fitted with built-in cabinets that contain drawers and shelves for an assortment of clothing items and included a walk-in closet. The canvas on the doors was originally hand-painted in France and then restored several years later by local artist, Elinor Krause. The bathroom within the dressing room is the only one of the house that contains tinted tiles. The latrine has a wicker commode-like chair covering and the shower has large jet sprays, which were both very popular in the 1920s.
