    Review 1872 John Denham House, Monticello, FL

    Photo Album

    This is the front parlour done in the original paint color which reflects candlelight beautifully. This area is used for family get togethers, morning coffee and newspaper, as well as tea time and wine or drinks.  The 12 foot Christmas tree and decorations make this room breathtaking at the Holidays.Come sit a spell on the front porch and chat or just enjoy the quiet with only the courthouse clock chiming the hour. The church chimes plays patriotic songs or hymns from time to time.  Listening to the fountain in the yard and  a glass of specially brewed iced tea will keep you cool.
    This is the beautiful old worlde dining area.  You'll enjoy your full, served, gourmet breakfast with candles for special occasions.This is the main foyer and entrance of The 1872 John Denham House.  Please come visit us.
