The interior displays original Tiffany glass windows and detailed woodwork that reflect early 1900s craftsmanship. Visitors can see how the owners decorated their home with period furnishings that reveal the taste and style of that era.
The house is located at Park Circle Drive across from Drake Park and is open to visitors through guided tours. Check ahead for tour availability and timing, as hours may vary seasonally.
The property includes a two-story carriage house topped with a cupola and featuring a hay loft, which housed the vehicles and equipment of the wealthy household. A separate bird aviary on the grounds once held the original owners' collection of exotic birds from around the world.
