Rich in architectural detail, and decorated in a late Victorian style, most of the original antique furnishings, hardware, lighting, plumbing fxtures and clothing from the Cruikshank family are preserved and on display. After being abandoned for 43 years, and just days before demolition, the mansion’s 30 rooms were saved, and are now open to the public for guided tours.
