Max 2 guests - Check availability for rates on your dates of interest
This spacious room on the 2nd floor was the original master bedroom of the house. However, there was a time when William Spencer's uncle inhabited this room. He was a Civil War veteran, and due to a war injury, could not be exposed to sunlight. A wardrobe was built over the bay window in the room and was not removed until 1991 when the windows were exposed again. The bathroom is also not exactly original—it was once a closet. The bath with tub and shower was built in the 1920s for Mrs. Spencer. The fixtures and tile are original. This room offers a king-sized 4-poster cherry bed, nonworking fireplace, seating area and a flat screen tv with Roku streaming device. This room is on the second floor

Mary's Room

Mary's room is named for William Spencer's wife, Mary Dupuy. We don't know if she kept a separate room, but if she did, this hand-carved 1880s antique queen bed would have been inviting and comfortable. A matching dresser and an embroidered chair complete the furnishings. Two floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the front and provide plenty of natural light. Two former closets now serve as a private en suite bathroom. This room is on the second floor.
