Our Dining & Banquet Rooms:
The Porch
The main dining room, referred to as The Porch for having originally been the veranda of the Victorian mansion, stretches along the expanse of the Columbian Home’s facade. The original stone walls are beautifully preserved and are complemented by large windows, which enclose The Porch comfortably and offer an expansive view of the verdant grounds and The Deck.
The Red Room
Adjacent to the Anchor Bar and the main dining room is the dining area known as The Red Room, which boasts an impressive mantle over a working gas fireplace and original architectural details such as oak paneling and leaded glass windows. The Red Room seats up to 24 guests and is also available for use during Special Events and Banquets.
Main Ballroom
The Main Ballroom is a grand chamber with coffered ceilings, a large hardwood dance floor and three original fireplaces, all illuminated in the warm light of the Tiffany glass windows that flank the regal staircase. The Main Ballroom’s dining area seats 80 to 100. This room is available for use during Special Events and Banquets, with or without the complement of The Red Room.
