General Information

Our historic home is in the heart of Columbus, Indiana, an All-America city noted internationally for its significant modern architecture. Our property occupies an entire city block, dominated by the house itself, a columned Colonial Revival remake of an original Victorian. The porch is filled with wicker chairs and the grounds offer a park-like setting we are developing into extensive gardens. Furnishings and decor reflect the various periods in the house's history since 1884. Full candlelight breakfasts are served in the formal dining room.
