Entering Sequoia by the wood and leaded glass front door, you cross into the gracious warmth of a space that feels like home. This is the original entry for the 1853 house. You'll find a dark milled wood floor underfoot and a carved banistered stairway just ahead leading to the upper rooms of the mansion.

To the right of the entry is Sequoia's main dining room. Here, tables are arranged near the original fireplace.

Many furnishings are antique, and most tables and chair sets throughout the room are unique to themselves and do not match other sets in the room. (photo by: Ford Family Photography)

The VerandaThe Veranda

 

To the immediate left of the entry is The Veranda. This room is authentically Victorian, with plantation fans, patterned tin ceiling, stained and jeweled glass windows, and an indoor water feature. The wall to wall windows can be folded back to expose screens for an old-fashioned screened porch effect, creating an indoor/outdoor feeling when weather permits. Seating of up to 60 guests is possible with a variation of table patterns and chair selections. This room is adjacent to the Empire Ballroom and the spaces can be connected to accommodate larger events and receptions. (photo: Ford Family Photography)

Also to the left of the main entry is the bar with a comfortable seating area near an antique fireplace. Here you can enjoy a beverage over a chat with friends or comfortably wait to be seated for dinner.
