This book room is down one step from “the commons room”, as the long front room, created by throwing into one the old taproom and the parlor, is called. It is now undoubtedly the most interesting place in the old house. For when the Croasdales acquired the Inn in 1894 the old kitchen was made into a “book room”. Just as the life of the tavern in the late 1700’s and the early 1800’s centered in this room, so has family life centered there for the past fifty-odd years for the John Croasdale family and so will it center in the future years for the Warner family. Back of the present large front room of the old Blue Ball Inn in Daylesford which has recently been purchased by the Paul Warner family of Wayne, is the original Inn kitchen.
