It's always interesting to learn about the different times of a city. Bernard our guide was very interesting. more

What I loved about this home was the original architecture and wood work. The floors are even original to the home....that is very rare! The tour guide was very knowledgable too. more

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. It was interesting to see this home that... more

We only got to see 5 rooms and none of the rooms had the Davenport oringinal possesions. Not much was in the rooms, it was only what they thought they might have from the inventory list.

The house was just ok, and the tour guide Dotty was rude. It was only $8 a person to get in and did show some history, but there are much better houses- Owens-Thomas and Mercer! more

We have had the opportunity to see many wonderful old houses. This one seems to have a curator who is color blind or perhaps using controlled substances. While there may be some historical significance here, it is vastly overshadowed by how ugly this place is. Go to the Owen-Thomas house for a much more pleasing restoration. 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
