First Floor

At the end of the entrance hall, facing the door, a grand staircase leads to the upper floors of number twelve, Grimmauld Place. The wall on the stair is decorated with a row of shrunken house-elf heads, mounted on the wall on plaques. On the first landing, however, there are at least three rooms: a bedroom, a bathroom, and, of the most significance, the drawing room.

The drawing room was at one time exquisite, with large windows overlooking the street in front of the house, a large fireplace flanked by two ornate glass-fronted cabinets, and an entire wall covered with a tapestry of the Black family tree.
