The Morning Room had an Eastly Organ 12 stops in it. Robert G. McCrum was in favour of installing an organ in Armagh First Presbyterian Church but his son in law the Rev. David Miller who was the Minister there opposed it. Robert G. McCrum was an elder of the church (he had paid half the £3,000 it cost to build it) so he won the argument. Apparently when the church leaders met to vote on it, those who opposed the organ were kept at home by their wives!

The telephone line connected to the Milford factory to keep an eye on the business. Milford House was the first house in Co. Armagh to have a telephone and as he had no one else to call Robert G. McCrum installed an internal system in the house and a line connecting to Milford factory.

The Morning Room became the Study of the Headmistress during the Time of the Manor House School. It served both as her office and sitting room. It was a room to meet visiting parents. The room is furnished according to the 1940 inventory of the room. The blue colour scheme floral curtains and Belgian carpet also match those described by past pupils of the school.

The writing bureau made in 1907 on Earl of Antrim Estate belonged to Mrs. Jean Killen the much loved and highly respected Headmistress of Manor House School from 1943 to 1956. Various school photographs can be seen.
