Home Tour 3

We toured the downstairs of Eden Hall

Besides the gift shop

we saw the downstairs parlor

and the dining room

They owners were doing tours

 and because there were

so many ppl there 

wasn't any way to take photos

Fans of Greek Revival mansions

 built for $2000 in 1940 by Abraham Hivling 

as a wedding gift for his daughter,

 the house has been featured

 in the Haunted Ohio book series. 

The house has a myriad 

of tunnels that were dug in the basement 

as part of the Underground Railway 

and also connected with 2 other

 homes that were owned by the Hivilings. 

This house and the one next door were the

 inspiration for the main home in the book

 ...And the Ladies of the Club, Edith Mae’s Victorian 

Tea Room and Gift Shop are located in the first floor

This house is 3 stories

9340 sq ft

29 rooms

4 bedrooms

2 sitting rooms

5 full baths

1 half bath

There use to be an observatory 

on the top of the house

 but a fire destroyed it 

and the west side of the house

The west side was restored

When we moved to this town

 the house was a B & B 

How I wished 

we would've stayed there

The Altick Home, 

 will give fans of the Eastlake Victorian style

 something to talk about.

 Constructed around 1890,

 the house includes a pedimented portico

 with fishscale siding and a dentiled cornice line.

2900 sq ft

9 Rms

4 Bedrooms

The only thing my house

didn't have that I wanted

 was one of these

 I thought this hallway was interesting 

Off the main bedroom

 is a laundry/sitting room

how I would love this!
