Description
Now offering Historical Inn accommodations in Vermont, The Grey Gables Mansion located in Richford, Vermont was built between 1890-1892, for a prosperous Richford entrepreneur, Sheldon Boright. By-gone days are recalled in this stately mansion. Mr. Boright, a wealthy wood baron, lived in the home with his young family. Much of the land in Richford was owned by Mr. Boright, including the land beyond the river. Here he would race his horses. He would invite his friends over for lavish parties in the ballroom formerly located on the third floor. The guests could wander up to the widow's peak and watch the horses race off in the distance.
The stately balloon-framed mansion exhibits a typical multi-gabled, asymmetrical design, complete with ornate exterior woodwork, a wrap-around porch and porte-cochere, projecting bays, stained glass window sash, and variegated wall and roof sheathing materials, typical of the Queen Anne style.
The interior, as well, is also intact, displaying such period detail as found in the carved walnut and mahogany staircases, library and second floor bedroom fireplaces, and original, dark varnished door and window architraves which
