A hidden room tucked away behind a bookcase is so medieval and  fascinating.  What do you push to reveal the room? What’s inside the room? Who knows about it? Is there a secret passageway leading from the room?  I wish I had the answers to those questions for these rooms.

Have you dreamed of having a secret room in your house hidden behind books?
