Experience the grandeur of a bygone era in a mansion set high on a hill in Galena. The Victorian Mansion has over 1-?acres of lawn and gardens, centurion trees and three porches. This Italianate Mansion has 8 guestrooms and 8 baths, 4 large parlors and a grand open foyer with a 3-story winding staircase. The front entry hall has an antique cranberry glass swirl design hanging light fixture. The foyer has an ornate brass five-armed swan and gargoff candle and lighting fixture.
The 8 large bedrooms have pillow-top mattresses and Egyptian cotton bedding. Most have ornate headboards, some 8' high. Most rooms are furnished in Renaissance Revival furniture; others furnished in East Lake.
The music parlor, sitting parlor, library, and dining room have 12' ceilings, original woodwork, pocket doors and 9-arm brass candle chandeliers.
A full breakfast is served on crystal, antique china, and silver. We serve fresh-squeezed juices or smoothies each morning. Fresh flowers grace each place setting. In our large dining room, there are large and small tables to accommodate our guests. Guests can catch glimpses of hummingbirds and enjoy a view of flowers in the window boxes from our dining room.
