This elegant 1885 mansion houses five spacious guest rooms upstairs and a handful of common parlors from which to soak in the opulence of yesteryear. Spread throughout are 47 stained-glass windows (look for the masterpiece in the stairwell), as well as swooping chandeliers, cherry-wood carvings and a fine art collection. Prepare to be dazzled.
