Charles Street Inn Gallery

Fredrick Law Olmsted

High walls graced by peaceful antique sepia landscape etchings and lithographs and a gold-gilt mirror on the mantle. Lace canopy on a cherry-wood bed so tall that it has steps, is joined by white marble furnishings: fireplace, desk, bureau, and tables. Burled cherry French armoires are complemented by a carved walnut sofa. A large fern, fresh flowers and a view of Mt. Vernon Square Garden recall Olmsted's fondness for nature. The room comes complete with a large, spa-quality bathroom.
