An 1893 Rattenbury home in the West End with Sunday teas and pay-what-you-can jazz on the porch all summer.
West End (Barclay Heritage Square)
More infoLook like a romantic genius by picking Roedde House first. This Queen Anne home in Barclay Heritage Square, built in 1893 and attributed to architect Francis Rattenbury, was restored down to the wallpaper, so wandering the parlour and cupola feels like slipping through a door left unlocked for a century. Time your visit to the summer Jazz on the Porch evenings, pay-what-you-can, and bring cash for the donation jar.
Time your visit to a Sunday tea-and-tour (they pour a house blend) or, in summer, the beloved pay-what-you-can 'Jazz on the Porch' in the garden square, that's the move here. Bring a little cash for the donation jar, then wander the parlour, bedrooms, and cupola of this restored 1893 Queen Anne like guests who slipped through a hundred-year-old door. Give it about 75 faintly romantic minutes and let the past set the mood.
