The foyer’s rich wood staircase is a true showpiece and possesses elements similar to the well-known Montmorenci staircase at Winterthur.

Exceptional craftsmanship, fine appointments and intricate period-accurate details meld together to create this true architectural beauty. Cleverly positioned merely blocks away from cafe's and eateries, the Delaware Greenway/Rockwood Park, 10 mins. to downtown Wilm. with entre to restaurants/entertainment/Wilm.
