For example, the bedrooms have no ceiling lights, but floor lamps and table lamps are available. Alternative lighting is available for convenience.The flooring are original and have experienced some wear and tear but cannot be sanded nor replaced as this will disturb the Historic aspect of the home. Throw rugs help protect them.In all, there is so much to discuss, discover and derive from booking this unique elegant structure.While here, ask to be shown the path to the underground railroad.Thank you for reading this and for booking with me.
