Event Venue · Private space
About this space
The library and parlor are combined for a small space that offers both comfortable, informal seating on upholstered antiques and reproductions as well as a classic oak table for a meeting of six to eight. This space is perfect for a small meeting, discussion, or staff retreat. Pocket doors open onto a hallway that leads to the glass-enclosed lobby overlooking gardens. South and west facing windows provide natural light most of the day. Enjoy the ambiance of gently tended book collections.
