Swan House

The last house we visited was the palatial Swan House, a southern-style mansion built in 1928 with numerous rooms and surrounded by manicured gardens and fountains. There were also costumed interpreters to answer questions and relate the history of the Inman's family home.

Walking in the door, guests are greeted by a grand winding staircase...

At the base of the stairs was a little nook just for the phone...

The sitting room, library and dining room all entered off the foyer...

The details were amazing! From detailed molding work to paint colors to hand-painted wallpapers...

My favorite rooms were the kitchen and larder! Everything was perfect from the dishes to the appliances. I would love to go back in time for a kitchen like this!

The refrigerator was absolutely spectacular and even had the original owner's manual!

Upstairs were the bedrooms...

And full bathrooms...

The master suite had a rather opulent closet/dressing room/master bath...

The back staircase led all the way up to the servant's quarter's with the best view in the house!

After exiting, we stumbled upon this delightful little playhouse at the back of the house...

I can see why it is such a popular (and expensive) venue for weddings...
