Though we are best known for providing a space for people in the medical field to hold events and conferences, our history provides a lovely tradition that are passed on for decades. This magnificent mansion is built in 1917 by the owner of the Diamond Match Company, for his daughters, Eleanor Robinson Contiss, as a wedding gift.
