Authentically classic and beautiful house! The tour guide was passionate about antique dishware and furniture, gave us very nice review of each item in the house. The massive stove in the kitchen and well preserved early sewing machine from the maid room were impressive. Room lamps in the dining room was beautiful, house original dishware and floor were still well kept. Stained glass design looked like jewels.

It is a gorgeous home and interesting story of how the owner became rich. There were a lot of antics & history of the house and good view from widow room at the top. The first floor had the most & best Xmas decorations. Unfortunately not much to be excited about from the rest of the place
