Late Georgian-style mansion reflects the affluent, formal style of living during Old Lyme’s maritime era.

The period rooms rekindle the spirit of another life and time.Also appreciates of art and architecture from across the ages. Anna Audette perceived transcendent humanity and ingenuity vested in the crafted objects and spaces.
