In 1924, Margaret Douglas married Howard Hall, founder of two successful companies - Iowa Steel and Iron Works and Iowa Manufacturing Company. The Halls lived in the estate's Garden House until the death of Margaret's mother in 1937. After moving to the mansion, the couple changed elements of the estate to fit their casual lifestyle and love of entertaining. For example, Howard and Margaret added two basement recreation rooms, the Tahitian Room and Grizzly Bar. They shared Brucemore with their many pets including "Leo" the lion.
