The Burn

The Burn features a five-bay east-facing facade with a pedimented portico supported by four fluted Doric columns rising from a brick basement.

Built in 1834 for John P. Walworth, the house served as a Union forces hospital during the Civil War before returning to its residential function.

The residence contains the original dining table and china from the Walworth family, who maintained ownership of the property for over a century.

The mansion operates as a bed and breakfast with private rooms equipped with antique furniture, modern bathrooms, air conditioning, and flat-screen televisions.

The property includes a two-acre garden containing more than 100 camellia plants and native trees surrounding brick walkways and a full-size swimming pool.
