Prospect Place was owned by the same family for over one-hundred years until 1994, when we purchased the home and began a period restoration...
Bathrooms have been tastefully integrated to accommodate the needs of the bed and breakfast guest rooms yet great care has been taken to maintain the original spaces in the house.
Period details abound, from classic archways and marble fireplaces to the graceful winding staircase and cut-glass windows.

The house is eclectically furnished in wonderful antiques and oriental rugs on top of the original wood floors. Premium faux finishes of subtle multi-colored wall glazes add a unique flavor to the décor, while other rooms have authentic reproductions of period wallpapers.
The spacious Parlor/Music Room has exciting Victorian wallpaper featuring pink ribbons and yellow urns on a dark blue background. There are two century-old grand pianos, sitting areas filled with daily newspapers and current magazines on a variety of subjects. The arched-top windows are covered with lace curtains made on original Victorian looms in Scotland.
A full breakfast is served in our Victorian dining room which contains a lovely window seat full of arched top windows, a marble fireplace, and the early antique wallpaper from the turn of the last century.
A variety of sumptuous pastries, breads, fresh fruit bowls, juices, coffee, tea or cocoa, as well as eggs in a variety of styles, are served on china, linen and silver each morning.
