In the olden days as they're called, they used to sometimes leave things inside these posts at the end of the stair case because usually they were hollow. I think they were called newlposts, not sure of the spelling. We had one in the house I grew up in and we popped the top off and inside were papers left by the original builders from like 1902. Sometimes they would leave blueprints, notes and other documents pertinent to the structure. It's always nice to find "buried treasure".

In one photo back called the reception hall, if you look at one of the past photographs, you can actually see this same (I think) bannister and post when it was newer. At least it looks like the same one. Cool!!

Yes, that is the same one - this central staircase led right into the reception hall. Good eye!
