Amenities include a CD player and sound-machine.After your adventurous day in historic Wilmington, escape to this cozy retreat nestled on the third floor.
The formal parlor with a Weaver Pump Organ.A comfortable lounge with TV/VCR and game table.  A computer is also available to guests.
Read a good book in the garden listening to the waterfall into the fish pond or relax on the hammock.  This view is from the rear second floor porch.The grand entrance welcomes you with original paneling and moldings and period light fixtures.  A grammaphone plays lyrically in the corner.
The house received an historic plaque in the 1970s. Mr. & Mrs. Worth raised their 5 daughters in the home and it remained in the family through a granddaughter until 1944 when it became a boarding house.  It became a bed and breakfast in 1985.  It is the longest continuously operating bed and breakfast in Wilmington
