Decorating Glendower for Christmas, Part 1


One of our best loved properties is Glendower Historic Mansion located at 105 Cincinnati Ave in Lebanon, OH.  This outstanding example of high style Greek revival residential architecture is a favorite with visitors, especially when we decorate the house for Christmas

Glendower is open June,July and August for regular tours and again in December, decorated for Christams. This year we are featuring four decorating themes throughout the house compliments of two local professional decorators, Jo Wise and Patti Johnson,  and our own curatorial staff.

We were thrilled that Patti Johnson of Patti Johnson Interiors agreed to help with this year's decorating at Glendower.
