Overview

The estate, formerly the private residence of Louis A. Graves, was the creation of architect William C. Bull who designed many of the stately Victorian structures in the Shires of Vermont. Ten-foot ceilings, the mahogany-paneled library with ornately carved fireplace, leaded glass pocket door and bookcases, and the raised plaster moldings of the Dining Room make the South Shire Inn a showpiece in Southern Vermont Victorian Era.
