The basement access is only available on request. It is a normal basement you would expect to see in a 1857 house. The laundry/storage room is for employees only unless special arrangements are made. Other things to note There is a long stairway that winds towards the top. Heavy luggage will be difficult to take up. If needed, you may request a box to separate your luggage making the trip up easier. We do not allow children due to the hazard of these stairs. In addition, the house is chuck full of antiques, china, and breakable stuff that will be expensive to replace. We are sorry but homes built in 1857 were not built to be handicapped accessible. Modifications would be very difficult. Fee includes use of the house by overnight guests only. Events are allowed but only with pre-arrangements. Please ask about the event fee. All the fireplaces are non-functional.
