| This ensemble in buff-gray Freeport and Massilon, Ohio sandstone is all in harmony despite different construction dates and architects. Only the mansard roof on the Lodge is a little out of keeping. Into this century, the Lodge had a rather thinlyframed wooden Gothic porch. The 1926 addition to the Office Building, imitating the 1870 detail perfectly without and partly within, shows respect for Mid-Victorian architecture most unusual at the time. The Funeral Entrance that bypasses Chisletts gateway is just east of the Office Building and offers better clearance. The Bayard "Mansion House" once faced it from an uphill site within the grounds. | | |
