Matched oak paneling, Italian tilework, and an abundance of stained and leaded glass combine to make an eclectic blend of Art Nouveau and Victorian styles. Just one-half block from the Capitol Complex and five minutes from the airport, it is convenient to tourists, legislators, and business travelers alike. The veranda, filled with a hanging garden of flowers and ferns, makes a perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea. This outdoor living room is candlelit after dark for tranquil visiting and for sipping iced tea or lemonade. On chilly spring and fall nights, warm afghans and hot chocolate are available for house guests to savor extended use of this Victorian add-on.
Evenings end with mints or custom chocolates on the pillows of turned-down beds.
