Description:
Ventfort Hall is a magnificent Berkshire "Cottage" built in 1893 by George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of the financier J.P. Morgan. Rescued from demolition in 1994 and opened to the public in 2000, this elegant Jacobean-Revival mansion serves as a timeless example of the fine craftsmanship and elegant architecture of the Gilded Age with its hand-carved oak great hall, dramatic staircase, beautiful plaster ceilings, expansive lawn, 90-foot grand verenda and more. Ventfort Hall was used as the exterior set for the Academy Award-winning film "The Cider House Rules."
Ventfort Hall was one of the approximately seventy-five Cottages built in Lenox in the 19th century when the village became a popular Gilded Age resort. Located on spacious grounds in the heart of the village, they are continuing its restoration, the first floor is completely open to the public and 75% of the rooms on the second floor are open.
Through tours, lectures, exhibits and other events, Ventfort Hall interprets the great changes that occurred in American life, industry and society during the Gilded Age, a fascinating period of American history.
