Mansion and Grounds
The Hermitage is built in “Southern Colonial” style of architecture, with large verandas in front and rear, a wide hallway, with two rooms on either side, and wings supplementing these. The rooms are spacious, and are eleven in number, besides pantry, storeroom, kitchen, cellar. There is a smoke-house and other outhouses. In 1922 a steam furnace was installed at a safe distance from the mansion, eliminating danger of fire from this source.
