Had to come back a few times because they were closed but worth the effort. The pocket doors in the front were so interesting as well as the dome. Knowledgable staff. Since they hold events there and allow photos for them; why not for visitors? No Credit Cards accepted.

The tour through this house isn't anything to blow you away, but it is still worth the short trip through to see some very antique pieces and for the history behind the house.

Lovely home. The home was the venue for a tea included in the NOGS Hidden Garden Tour. Elegant furnishings. Garden Club hosts were charming and accommodating to our every need.

Built in 1853 this house is preserved so well you might believe you were transported back in time. Used by St. Johns next door when it is not open for visitors it remains a living breathing structure fill with 19th century furniture.
