It was built for a prominent contractor who had worked on architect Horatio Nelson White’s landmark buildings such as The Hall of Languages on SU campus. By 1975 the home had been abandoned and neglected and was en route to be demolished. A young passionate graduate from SU, the current owner, Joan Farrenkopf, saved the house and took the restoration to heart, returning it to its original splendor. The home is now on the National Register of Historic Homes. *We provide coffee, tea and light breakfast fare for your stay* *We are a shoes-off, pet-free and smoke-free home!* *Please don't hesitate to reach out to one of your hosts: Rhonda, Joan or Kalia with any questions* Check out our other available rentals in the house- "Skylight" Room, "Mustard" Room with private bath, and "Blue" Room as well the private townhouse division on the back of the house!
