Allerton In-Residence: Space

LIVING

Ice House: Thanks to a gift from Dana Brehm and Larry Baumann, Robert Allerton’s former Ice House now serves as living space for residents, recreating the intimate experience Robert provided his guests. This fully-accessible building, located across from the Visitor Center and Greenhouse Café, includes a bedroom, living area, and kitchen (full size refrigerator, sink, microwave, and hot plate).

WOrk/STUDIO

Auditorium: Located in a repurposed greenhouse, offering a view of the Meadow and easy access to the formal gardens.

The Dome: Located on the Wetland Boardwalk in the Formal Garden area of the Park, the Dome overlooks the Reflecting Pond and historic Allerton Mansion.

Solarium: This window-lined ‘back porch’ of the historic Allerton Mansion features original brick floors and overlooks the Koi Pond, Reflecting Pond, and Meadow.

Music Barn: Set amid the beauty of an idyllic nine-acre farmstead, this converted two-story Dutch hay barn, with its exposed timbers and 30-foot ceiling, offers a rustic and charming atmosphere.
