please help me analyze the grammatical structure of this sentence.

sentence:
There was a ripe mystery about it, a hint of bedrooms upstairs more beautiful and cool than other bedrooms, of gay and radiant activities taking place through its corridors and of romances that were not musty and laid away already in lavender but fresh and breathing and redolent of this year's shining motor cars and of dances whose flowers were scarcely withered.

Is it a compound sentence?--complex sentence?

A compound sentence is a sentence with two or more independent clauses. There's no place you could break this sentence into two different sentences, so it's not compound.

A complex sentence contains at least one DEPENDENT clause. This sentence contains three:

"than other bedrooms (were)"

"that were not musty and laid away already in lavender"

"whose flowers were scarcely withered"

So it's complex.
