Description
Circa 1905. The lavish, four-course breakfasts served daily at this beautiful turn-of-the-century Edwardian home are unforgettable. Innkeeper and award-winning, gourmet cook Ellie Klein starts off the meal with special fresh juice, which is served in the parlor. From this point, guests are seated at the candlelit dining table to enjoy a series of delectable dishes, such as poached pears, a mouth-watering entree, a light, lemon ice and a rich dessert. And each of the courses is served on a separate pattern of Depression Glass. If the breakfast isn't enough, Ellie and husband, Bill, an electrical engineer, have stocked the individually decorated bathrooms with fluffy towels and bathrobes and guests can soak in inviting clawfoot tubs. Each of the bedchambers boasts antique collectibles and fresh flowers. The inn is located in the prestigious turn-of-the-century Park Avenue Historical and Cultural District. The entire area is an architect's dream. Museums, colleges, Eastman School of Music, Highland Park, restaurants and antique shops are among the many nearby attractions.

Historic Interest |
Built in 1905 by America's top toy designer, Edward Savage, Dartmouth House is a grand example of Edwardian Tudor architecture. Mr. Savage was Fisher Price's primary designer and the lavish Arts and Crafts touches in the inn reflect those turn-of-the-century features. Even the maid's quarters are exceptional. Touches such as double-wide, sliding, leaded-art-glass pocket doors and both box-beamed and coved ceilings bring oohs and aahs from architectural buffs as well as appreciative guests. Guests tell us that staying overnight in this well-preserved historic treasure is a pleasant and memorable experience. Historic Memberships: National Trust, Local Historical Society and City Historical Society. Historic sites nearby: Frank Lloyd Wright home (1 mile), Cobbs Hill Park and Reservoir (1 mile), Third Presbyterian Church (Richardsonian) (1.5 miles), Claude Bragdon Universalist Church (1.75 miles), Louis Kahn Unitarian Church (3 miles)
