Sharon, I wish I knew for sure! I believe you are right that it is an ac unit. I also do not know how efficient it is. This home was completely remodeled and was probably built around the 1920's.

what is this room for? I am having a hard time feeling comfortable because I don't feel a purpose. Its beautiful to me though.

It is adjacent to the playroom so I think it would probably be used for the adults to sit and visit and be in near proximity to the kids. It is beautiful.
