I'm finally playing through the original Thief (gold version) for the first time after a friend badgered me to play this wonderful game for years. I just finished The Sword on Expert, but it bugs me that I could never open one door.
From doing some searches, I gather the room is referrred to as the Altar Room. It has several pillars along the side and you find four gold goblets on at the end on the altar. There's a door in there on the right side that I could never open.
I was able to complete the mission without ever opening it so this isn't a dire need, but I'm left with a gnawing curiosity as to how to get that darn door open. None of the keys or lockpicking would open it for me and I felt like I pretty thoroughly explored the rest of the mansion.
Am I on a wild goose chase here? Any suggestions?

You'll find out what's in there... eventually.
In the meantime, be sure to check any posts around the streams for tongue-shaped switches.

In reverse order. Yes you are on a wild goose chase.
How-some-ever, you will get through it in a later mission. One that will force you to be a extremely aware and sneaky thief.
This one is definitely not a smash and bash raid, and unless you exercise extreme patience at the very beginning, and "search" all areas well, you will be at a major deficit in the mission.
Good luck
