About
Quick facts: Imagine stepping onto an opulent stage where the Gilded Age comes alive, with ceilings reaching over 20 feet and walls echoing with stories of lavish parties. Every corner reflects the era's extravagance, from intricate chandeliers to hand-painted frescoes inspired by French palaces.
Highlights: The grand ballroom, featuring hand-painted murals by famed artist Jules Guerin, can unfold into a breathtaking 5,000 square feet space for dazzling events, hosting dances that once entertained legends like Cole Porter. Guests often feel swept back in time as sunlight streams through massive Palladian windows, illuminating marble fireplaces and crystal chandeliers.
Insider tips

- Bring a camera but note that flash photography is usually prohibited inside the mansion.
- The grand ballroom viewpoint offers spectacular photo opportunities especially in natural light.
