This fine house was built in 1876 for the wealthy merchant and shipowner J.R.Corning and his wife Margaret Ann.

Through the dining-room you enter the maid's stairwell and on into the kitchen to the left is a spacious sun-room and to the right lies the pantry and the mudroom. A dumbwaiter in the pantry allows meals to be easily conveyed to your dining-room.

You may access the second floor either by the main staircase entering from Forest St.or the maid's staircase which can be accessed internally or from Park St. Once you have reached the landing of the main staircase you can access the four bedrooms two of which have fireplaces.
