Circa 1899. Located in the midst of the historic residential district of Forest Park Heights, this 1899 Victorian was known as "The Mansion House." The recently restored Lathrop House Bed and Breakfast features original carved mantels, wood paneling, stained glass and a formal staircase. Swing on a columned porch overlooking the wide lawn. Relax on the veranda, smell the scent of the rose garden or picnic under the shade trees in the back yard. Elegant guest bedrooms with high-ceilings and king beds are accented with contemporary art, in-room libraries, wireless Internet access, designer bathrooms with showers and clawfoot tubs. A generous continental breakfast is provided and available at any time.
