This property has been featured in Old Town Lynchburg local station (June, July, August 2007). Location: City/Urban. Inkeepers Notes
Four years and three months of renovations have made this historic mansion come to life. Great care was taken to preserve the history and architecture of this magnificent home. Original mantels (7) many of the original light fixtures, doors, floors, tubs and bathroom sinks remain. When replacement items were required, salvage yards were sought out to find items of the era to blend into this home. Paint colors are appropriate to the late 1800s. Take a step back in history and enjoy your stay with us. Relax and unwind with a massage in your suite or just relax on our over-size (almost 800 square feet) front porch.
