House and Grounds

Click the photos on the left for a gallery of Melange's special event venues.

Greenhouse (Breakfast) Room

An annex to the Turquoise Room, the Greenhouse is where breakfast and special events are served formally with candlelight.

East Porch

Adjoining the Living Room and the Mediterranean Courtyard on either side, the East Porch is a favourite lounge for every season.

Mediterranean Courtyard

The recently renovated Mediterranean Courtyard showcases the charm of a typical courtyard scene from southern Europe.

Pan Fountain (Rose Garden) Patio

This intimate scenery is highlighted by a two tier flower garden, a patio with cut stone floor and a fountain with an antique bronze statue of a pan under a romanesque arbor. The garden is often used for weddings.

Turquoise (Dining) Room

Site of small formal dining, located in the west wing. Features hidden mirror doors that open into the butler's pantry and to the breakfast greenhouse.

The Grand (Living) Room

The living room is inspired after that of the gallery of Mirrors at Versailles. Features marble fireplace, antique lamps, and a Thonet sitting group.

Foyer

The foyer of Melange has much of the old French character left: Oriental carpets on the marble floor, ornate mirrors, an antique crystal chandelier and an accenting green ceiling curtain. The living room is to the left, and the study and turquoise (dining) room are to the right. The open staircase leads to the five guest rooms and to Turkish Parlor.

Turkish Parlor

Cozy reading room for house guests on the landing of the grand staircase.
