Description
The painted brick Second Empire building has wood porches and a tin plated steel roof. It contains 4 Italian marble fireplaces and 2 slate fireplaces, painted to look like marble. It was one of the first houses in the region to have indoor plumbing, including a rainwater cistern.
History
DeLand lost his fortune and the house covering orange crop losses for his Florida farmers.[2][dead link] In 1905, the new owners installed stained glass windows, electric chandeliers and glass lanterns at the four doors. After 1920, it became known for a while as Villa Rosenborg due to its Danish owners. In 1920, it was slated to be torn down to provide space for a new trolley station, but the trolley line was rerouted saving the house. It became the Green Lantern Inn in 1925 under new owners who eventually added a restaurant. During Prohibition, alcohol was available in a hidden speakeasy loft.[3][4] After the repeal of Prohibition, they opened an official taproom.
A decade long restoration project began in 1976. From 1980 to 2005, it was owned by Terrence O'Neil, Vice Chairman of the Fairport Savings Bank.[5] In 2006, it hosted a fundraiser for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra[4] which had 30 different designers improving the house.
Mr. Dominic's Italian restaurant currently operates in the building.
