A gingerbread mansion which stands behind a unique wrought iron grape cluster fence forged in 1867 in Philadelphia, its sunny yellow and white exterior brings to mind brides and birthdays.
Charles Crook, a prosperous local businessman, had the house designed and built for his wife. She was an ardent admirer of the scroll work that lends to the magical stage-like facade.
Several famous American artists have depicted the house in many paintings, including Schnell's "The Barber Shop," which hangs in the James Michener Art Museum. What's more, McCalls magazine featured the house as the "Holiday House" in 1963.
In 1996 the Inn was featured on the "Great Country Inns" series on The Learning Channel, nationally televised. People now visit from all over the country and abroad.
Beginning in 2002, fine dining became available Thursday through Sunday. Since then, the restaurant has received numerous awards and today's current owners, the Caspers and Ebersoles, are proud to provide both inn and restaurant guests with first class accommodations, service, and cuisine.
This wonderful Inn and restaurant is a beautiful tribute to the Victorian Era which can be enjoyed by all who visit New Hope, PA.
