Forward on the Promenade Deck was the prim reading and writing room decorated in the late Georgian style of 1770 to 1780 with soft white paneling and elegant furniture.

A bay window outboard and a fireplace aft anchored the beautiful proportions of the room and suggested a cozy environment in which to do the activities suggested by the room’s name—especially on a blustery day.

As a counterpoint to the men’s smoking room, this stylish space was primarily intended for the ladies.  After dinner, when convention dictated that couples separate, the women could gravitate to this cozy space for coffee or conversation. 

Although pleasing to the eye, the room was not as popular as expected and designers found it to be too large.  Plans were made to eliminate the forward alcove by converting the space into first-class cabins as soon as Titanic went in for her first end-of-season renovation.

No artifacts have been recovered from this room.
