Review 1895 Tarlton House, Hillsboro, TX

Photo Album

The 2-story entry staircase is carved and paneled from wood imported from Europe. Anticipation builds upon entering here, for the craftsmanship and artistry transport you to the century when cotton was king. The staircase leads to the 4 unique guest rooms on the second floor, and subsequently the three guest rooms of the third floor. If it's cold outside, sit down a minute in these regal old Queen Anne wingbacks in front of the entry fireplace, and rest a minute before you take the tour. The carving is unique, the inlaid tiles are original, and were imported from Italy. We're excited that you have come. Welcome, welcome!At check-in time we offer a social hour, where you can meet and greet fellow guests, and perhaps the innkeepers will take time to visit, as well. Appetizers and beverages are provided, plus menus from local restaurants tantalize you with dinner options. 
In the morning, you can smell freshly ground gourmet coffee waiting for you in the Breakfast room. Breakfast at the Tarlton House is a bountiful buffet with hearty hot entrees, fruit, cereal, and fresh-baked goods offered at 8 AM weekdays and 9 AM Saturday and Sunday mornings. Take a second cup of coffee to the front wraparound porch to start a leisurely rhythm in a rocking chair. Local papers, the Wall Street Journal, and a host of magazines await your browsing.
The Music Parlor is dedicated to the memory of Sarah Elizabeth Tarlton (1862-1907), the first wife of Greene Duke Tarlton. Her influence in the design and majesty of the Tarlton House is most keenly felt in the Music Parlor. The inlaid tiles on the fireplace have figures of angels playing musical instruments. She is buried in the Hillsboro Cemetery, and the epitaph on her tombstone reads:
"Her soul was attuned to melody on earth,
Her sweet voice adds to the melody of the angel's songs."
Music continues to play a significant role in Tarlton House events. The 1895 Tarlton House is pleased to be a supporter of Arts events at Hill College. You will find lively discussion of Education and the Arts at the 1895 Tarlton House.The Cottage Garden offers Shabby Chic pastels for a relaxing experience.

Relax in your room, write a note at the desk, or peruse the Victorian magazine. This room just feels really good!
Plan your group's formal dinner here, a reception for your family celebration, or go casual and play cards, Bunko or 42, if you like. The carved fireplace is distinct from the other six, but the inlaid tiles are original, imported from Italy in 1895. Their blue and grey color are matched with the sponge-painting color of the walls. 12 ft ceilings allow the room to feel spacious and grand, even when full of people.The Magnolia Guest Room is an “Old South” themed room, in greens and gold. The original 1895 fireplace mantel has grey tiles, imported from Italy, with a Fleur-de-lis emblem embossed in them. The oversized bathroom has a claw foot tub with shower and a pedestal lavatory.
In the Old South land, where cotton was king, the days were sultry and taxing. But with refrigerated air, the hard edge of this beautiful country is eased, leaving a relaxed calm, and a courtly splendor. Amid the golden sunshine in this room, you embrace more of your own southern charm. Reading a favorite tale, you may find that what was once gone with the wind, is here again for you to savor, pampering the evening with pleasure.
