Description
Circa 1872. An outstanding example of Second Empire architecture, this 1872 home was one of the earliest residences in the historic district. Once a designer showcase, the inn exudes a casual elegance and warm hospitality. Sit by the fire in the cozy den or in the living room while snacking on a treat from the butler's pantry. The porch swing is just too inviting to ignore. The Manor's guest suites offer luxury and amenities for business and pleasure. Sleep in a canopy bed by a fireplace in the Elizabeth Barrett-Browning Suite or in a four-poster bed by a bay window and a sitting room in the Cushing Suite. Savor a hearty breakfast in the dining room. Browse the tea room gift shop.Location: City/Urban and St. Joseph River Race Way.
