Public Rooms
The Stewart Inn was originally designed for entertaining large groups
of people in elegant style. High quality materials, superb
craftsmanship, and incredible architectural detail abound, especially
in the public rooms on the first floor. By a stroke of good
fortune the original art glass, light fixtures, woodwork, flooring,
built-ins, and fireplaces remain intact.
Dining
Room
The dining room has several tables to accommodate private
dining for groups of one to ten guests. An extraordinary art glass
chandelier hangs from the beamed ceiling to light the main table. The
East wall is in the shape of a segmental arch, and contains curved art
glass windows and French doors leading to a large porch. Twin crystal
cabinets, a curved front built-in buffet, and wall sconces carry out
the architectural themes of the building.

Drawing
Room
The drawing room features a beamed ceiling, tall wainscoting,
and
wood floor, all done in quarter-sawn white oak. The focal point of the
room is an incredible fused-glass fireplace designed by the Chicago
firm of Gianinni and Hilgart. A large display cabinet, the fireplace,
and the entrance to the raised foyer are each topped by a 10-foot
segmental arch. Tiffany tulip chandeliers and wall sconces cast a warm
glow throughout the room.

Room Window
Across from the drawing room fireplace is a spectacular 14-foot art
glass window in the shape of a segmental arch. Like other
decorative windows in the mansion, this window incorporates the
geometric and floral motifs designed by architect George W.
Maher. Beneath the window is a padded seat that provides a
cozy
perch when warmed by the radiator it covers.

Reception Room
The reception room was originally intended as a place for party guests
to review their grooming before entering the drawing room.
Now it
serves as a media room and executive conference room.
Surrounded
by six high-back leather chairs, the wall-mounted 46-inch
HDTV can
be used for viewing cable TV programs, movies from the Inn's
DVD
selection, or computer presentations. Rich mahogany
woodwork, art glass windows, and deep red walls give this room
an
inviting feeling.

Foyer
Flanked by tulip-capped columns, the raised foyer provides access to
the main staircase, the den, and the servants' side of the mansion. An
11-foot arched window on the South wall balances the arched entry to
the foyer. Tulip wall sconces and matching chandelier repeat
the
motifs found throughout the house.

Den
Originally Hiram Stewart's office, this room now serves as a cozy,
inviting place to read or play board games. The focal point of
the room is a massive Arts and Crafts fireplace. Overhead is
a
unique ventilation system designed to exhaust cigar smoke. Guests are
invited to select books and periodicals from the den to enjoy in
their rooms.

East Porch
French doors in the dining room lead to the East Porch, a private, rain
or shine place to relax in the North Woods.

Patio
A few steps down from the East Porch is a large patio surrounded by
trees, shrubs, and flower gardens. The restful sound of falling water
comes from a large fountain in the center of the patio. At night,
courtyard lighting imbues the area with a magical quality.
