This home was built by Dr. Charles Young Swan in 1891 and represents Colonial Revival with Gothic and Victorian influence.

There are elaborate wood moldings, beautiful leaded glass Gothic window arches, high ceilings, hardwood floors and seven fireplaces, each one unique and distinct. This sun filled home is ideal for grand entertaining as it was during "The Gilded Age". Also incorporated is intricate detailing and quality materials, such as, a slate roof. The serenity and private setting can be enjoyed from the front and back open porches, along with magnificent views from each window of this elegant and classic three story home.
