I agree there are no secrets in this area. Presumably what you refer to as a secret area is room 17101 which you enter from the room above, 16901. The access in room 16901 is marked by some bricks with a slightly different pattern to those around them and I think the designer of the mansion thought this was a good enough clue to indicate there was something significant about those bricks and he expected people to investigate them.
As far as I remember most of the 'real' secrets in this mansion are found by walking through what appear to be solid walls which don't have any indication that there is something on the other side of them.
