This beautiful Queen Ann was built in 1879 after the original house was destroyed by fire in 1878. Victorian house plans divided space so everyone in the household had some privacy in an age that was intensely communal.This can be seenin several of the public rooms which are just large enough for two or three...all places to escape from the pressures of too much close family living.
The entire family thinks the turret room with its nineteenth century telescope is the greatest place t o get away from everyone -- maybe it's because it is only eight feet around and on the third floor. Beauclaire's goal is to provide a quiet restful stay, and because of this they do not provide radios, televisions or phones. These twentieth century inventions await your return home.
