My wife and I toured the Warehime-Myers Mansion in Hanover in the fall. The WMM is a beautiful neoclassical mansion built over three years, starting in 1911. Built by Clinton Myers, owner of the Hanover Shoe Company, the WMM is without a doubt, one of the grandest houses in Hanover. The home reflects the eclectic decorating style of Bill Warehime, with its antique furnishings, and dare I say, some rather kitschy artistic touches. Overall, it is a site to behold with period furnishings, embellished mirrors, china, ornate fireplaces, grandfather clocks, etc.
You will find yourself swept back into time as you take a guided tour of this house. Our docent was Jim, one of the volunteers associated with the historical society. He was very thorough in explaining the style, tastes and history of the previous owners and regaled us with stories pertaining to each room and various items we encountered. He was incredible. We also toured the stable/carriage house building that is currently being renovated. The mansion is the site of seasonal events and concerts, as well as a wedding venue. As a lover of history and architecture, I was enthralled by this mansion's grandeur and its storied past. If you have similar interests, you will enjoy your visit here. read more
