Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This Gilded Age mansion is a Gold Coast gem. Built to mimic Marie Antoinette’s “petit chateaux” on the grounds of Versailles, it’s a stunning example of Gilded Age glamour, with elegant interiors that exude warmth and intimacy.
- Take in panoramic views of Lake Michigan from the home's entry stately plaza and through oversized windows facing the water. Once inside, you’ll find unmatched turn-of-century detailing—Italian marble flooring, carved limestone and plasterwork, a curved, gilded stair railing, and seven ornate stone fireplaces.
- Your event can flow throughout the mansion's four stories, which include striking backdrops like the Hall of Immortals, lined with towering sculptures of pioneers in science and medicine, and the Hall of Murals, featuring twelve sweeping artworks depicting the progression of surgical science.
