My sisters and I visited the Davenport House towards the end of September 2007. The tour is very much worth the $8.00 pp which is charged. The Davenport House has been beautifully restored. They have done an excellent job researching the wallpapers and flooring that would have been typical for that period (among other features of the house) and used... more

We choose this home for it's federal style and that it was built by the master builder Isaiah Davenport. Suprisingly it has been re-done to mirror what it would have looked like as a builder would have used the home as a model and office, and not to modern tastes and expectations.

The garden is nice... more

I really enjoyed the Davenport House Museum. It was beautifully restored and nicely furnished to represent how it would have been lived in by its builder and first owner. The guide included many facts about Davenport and about the many changes the house has been through over its years. At one point up to twelve families lived there when it... more
