Information
about the House
The 1889 Victorian house has elegant woodwork
throughout the whole house. The three main doors from the
entry hall and parlor have original etched glass windows
depicting hunting scenes. You can go out on the beautiful
porches from the parlor and enjoy the sunshine the whole day
long. Behind the house there is an unspoiled Victorian
carriage barn. The pergola with table and benches is ideal for
summertime barbecues.
On the first floor you can find a fully equipped kitchen and
pantry. There is a dining room, parlor, library and
drawing room.
There are five bedrooms on the second floor. The rooms are
romantically furnished with period antiques. There are two
bathrooms.
History
The house was built by a rich saw mill
owner. After gold was discovered in Bridgewater, Hermon
G. Davis sold his saw mill to the gold mining company and built his new house on the site of the old Southgate Farm.
It is a wonderful example of Queen Anne Victorian style with
it ornate porches and balcony on the top floor.
