THE HENRY WHIPPLE HOUSE: Perched on a knoll in Bristol Village, this stunning 1904 example of a Queen Anne Victorian offers a glimpse into a bygone New England era, when prominent mill owners spared no expense to build their family mansion as symbol of their success. Built by true craftsmen, original features include 5 fireplaces (4 w/clay tiles), wood floors, ornate woodwork, custom wood wainscoting, and stained glass. Thoroughly and lavishly restored with loving attention to detail. Use as your own single-family home or embrace the lifestyle of an innkeeper.
