Main House
From 12-foot vaulted
ceilings, to golden heart pine floors, late Victorian details
abound. Graceful proportions are the hallmark of the era;
and guests especially enjoy the spaciousness of their rooms.
Each has a unique decorative mantle surrounding the old
coal-burning fireplaces (no longer in use to comply with
local fire codes). Rooms are trimmed in rich hardwood -
some natural finish, others painted. Transoms and brass
ceiling fans throughout, recall a less hurried way of life.
Antique furnishings in each room have been carefully chosen
to compliment the period details, while providing true
comfort and convenience to guests. Clawfoot tubs with gleaming
brass and porcelain trim make the Victorian style bathrooms
special. However, they are discreetly modernized to provide
every convenience. The gingerbread-trimmed front porch
welcomes guests with wicker furniture and a relaxing swing.
Overlooking Auburn's oldest neighborhood (officially designated
as the Old Main & Church Street historic district)
it is the perfect place for morning coffee or a refreshing
cold drink at the end of the day. Each guest room includes
private bath, cable TV with VCR, clock radio, cassette
and CD players, direct line telephone, and WiFi.
ample off-street parking is available.

Carriage
House Building
This building, nestled in
trees behind the Main House, includes the original Carriage
House which was Professor Crenshaw's personal hide-away.
It still has the foot-wide floor planks which were laid before
the turn-of-the-century, and retains a rustic feel. He, like
today's guests, must have appreciated the peace and quiet
which this secluded building offers; for it was here that
he authored mathematics textbooks which earned him international
recognition in his field. Attached to the rear of this original
structure is an additional guest room facing the side yard
which is planted with a variety of native shrubs. This new
room appeals particularly to guests who appreciate a tranquil
place to study or unwind. Both accommodations feature private
bath, cable TV with VCR, clock radio, cassette player, direct
line telephone, and Internet
access. Well appointed kitchenettes make these rooms
ideal as a longer term home-away-from-home.
