Pomeroy House



Had a good time at the Red Hat luncheon yesterday afternoon. This was my first visit to Don's Pomeroy House so I had to take some pics. They turned an old mansion in Strongsville into a restaurant. They pretty much kept the rooms the same so some of the rooms only have one table and seat 4. I found out some history of the house. It was used as part of the underground railroad. It was a stop over before getting the slaves into Canada. I also found out there is a ghost of a 5 year old girl that haunts the upper level. From what I was told today she only comes over to play. She didn't live in the house, but visits it now on her trip over from the cemetery. I looked for her, but didn't find her.



Part of the Library room, large room with books and a central fire place


Stairs leading down to the bar.



Another thing I thought was cool was the lift chair. Love the tapestry and fringe on the chair.


The main room is called the Library. The booths look like they are part of the book shelves.


I didn't know till I saw this picture that I caught a pic of me taking the picture on the wall mirror. Pretty cool.

And lunch was fantastic! Had potato soup, quiche, fresh fruit, and chocolate eclair. Needless to say I did some working out after I got home.
