To get anywhere else, the subway/el, abundant taxicabs, free summer trolley and seven buses are also 1/2 to 2 blocks. The Mansion was designed in 1886 by architect HM. Hansen for his own family, and is now a Historically Significant Building, as it has all its original Victorian detail -- stained glass windows, pocket doors , parquet floors, decorative fireplaces, carved wood, plaster ceiling medallions. Then we added 19th century furnishings and artwork to reflect the homes' original charms, and 21st century conveniences such as central AC, high-speed Internet, WiFi. On the first level is a living room, dining room to seat ten, extra half bath & eat-in kitchen. We have four bedrooms with three queen beds and two singles to sleep 8 guests. We can add a cot in each of the deluxe rooms to accommodate 10. The top floor Parlour Suite contains a seating area with widescreen LCD television and DVD player, stereo, extra coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, private sundeck with umbrella table, newly remodeled bathroom with shower and clawfoot tub, extra sink outside of the bathroom and two guest rooms. *The Lit Bateau Guestroom* has two single beds with a large closet, an antique hutch with a drop down desk and clock radio with CD player. *The Art Nouveau Salon* next door boasts an ornate queen bed and armoire designed by Louis Marjorelle, the Father of Art Nouveau Furniture, plus a writing desk and two night tables. The second floor's two deluxe guest rooms each contain a queen-sized bed, extra en-suite carved marble sink, walk-in closet, and private bath. *The Celestial Chamber* is graced with a magnificent hand-carved Victorian headboard and hand-painted canopy, a walk-in closet with built-in dresser, a television enclosed in an antique casing, Bose radio with CD player, and a large granite-topped desk. Its spacious bath has faux marble floors and an extra large shower-for-two with Corian walls and seat and dressing room. *The Architect's Quarters* offers a small sitting area with a down-filled settee, an antique carved desk, the television and DVD player enclosed in a fabulous antique armoire, Bose radio, a dressing room, and a walk-in closet. It's quite luxurious with many original architectural details including a stained glass window, decorative fireplace, and pocket-shuttered windows. Behind a pocket door the bathroom has the original over-sized clawfoot bathtub with handheld shower on an in-laid marble floor. All stays include local phone calls, a 24-hour light breakfast, and daily maid service. If needed, street parking for your car is included. We offer extras such as a private tour of this historic area by a local architectural docent, or a cooking class or meals by one of our local chefs -- the brunch is a terrific deal! Please note that the inn is strictly non-smoking, though ashtrays are provided on the sundeck.
