The Mandolin Inn
Map
Location: City/Urban.
Romantic Interest
The Inn is beautifully restored, has lovely furnishings and a tranquility that soothes the soul and inspires intimacy.
Historic Interest
The home was the private home of Nicholas Schrup, senator and financier (owned all banks and insurance companies in the city) at the turn of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The mansion was designed and built by the renowned Swiss architect Fridolin Heer. Some exceptional aspects of the mansion include a hand-carved Queen Anne wrap-around veranda, distinctive green spanish clay tile roof, hexagonal turret, eclectic patterened brickwork, Palladian windows in the east gable and a unique leaded and stained glass window of Saint Cecelia (patron Saint of musicians) holding a mandolin.
