There are seven steps leading up to the front door of Nero Wolfe's home at 618 W.35th Street in Manhattan. The "Front Room" as Archie refers to it is on the left, followed by the door to Wolfe's office. To the right are stairs going up and down, then an elevator, then the door of the dining room, and, at the end of the hall, an alcove from which you can enter the kitchen (on the right) or look through a peephole into the office (on the left).
