Allyn Mansion Inn, Delavan, Wisconsin
Grand Prize winner of the Great American Home Awards presented by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and recipient of the Wisconsin Historical Society's Certificate of Commendation for Historic Preservation because of its "exceptionally thorough and meticulous restoration," the Allyn Mansion ranks as one of the finest restoration efforts in the country. The 23-room Queen Anne/Eastlake mansion was build by architect E. Townsend Mix for the Alexander Allyn family in 1885. The residence became a nursing home in 1952 and later a furniture store before being purchased in 1984 by current owners and restorers Joe Johnson & Ron Markwell who have returned the derelict jewel to its original elegance.
Along with the walnut woodwork, frescoed ceilings, 10 marble fireplaces, gasoliers and other original features, the Allyn Mansion Inn is completely furnished in authentic Victorian antiques. Guests enjoy the use of three formal parlors and two grand pianos. Bedrooms have queen-sized beds and five have fireplaces and private baths. Join your hosts for wine and cheese at 6:00 p.m. weekends and a hearty breakfast of homemade goodies served family style at 8:30 a.m. daily.
