Does anyone know what a what a keep is contained by a floor plan layout? It is located near the kitchen, but it is not a mud room since the house I be looking at already has one. Here is a cooperation to the floor plan that I was looking at:

Answers: "Keeping Room" which is usually a smaller relations area past its sell-by date the kitchen for sitting, reading etc. and usually has a fireplace. I guess some might ring up it the family room. If your plan shows a ethnic group room and a keeping room, then it must be a pretty nice home.
Heres some pictures of "keeps"

Keep - This definition changed slightly over the centuries of castle building. In the rash years of stone castle building the Keep was a standalone structure that could be defended and normally square in shape. Over the centuries these structures be improved upon and built around. Thus a castle be made that was a larger and more complex structure. The prevalent tower that this was built around be still called the Keep and it be usually the tallest and strongest structure in the castle. It be also used as the last vein of defense during siege or attack
In modern times it would have metaphorical details. the walls and ceilings surrounded by the floor plan you have shows these details. The plan you hold also shows lots of details resembling a modern day castle such as the round staircases.
