LOCATION

The Worthington Whittredge Suite is located on the northwest corner of the second floor.  From its expansive bay windows, guests have sightlines on the front yard and a large old maple tree.   The room offers ample afternoon light.  The room is equipped with a queen-size bed, an ensuite bathroom and a private closet.

FURNISHINGS

Bedroom furnishings include a hand-crafted Amish bed in Princeton style made of native cherry, a reading and writing table, two side chairs, a console table, night stands, and multiple lamps. Oriental rugs highlight the refinished, original knotty pine floors.  The ensuite closet is stocked with luggage racks, storage boxes, clothing hangers, and a hair dryer.

COLOR PALETTE

The suite derives its name from Whittredge’s “Fisherman’s Windlass,” which offers the artist’s bucolic fall meditation on 19th century fishing activities near Tivoli Bay. Bedroom walls are bathed in soft shades of orange, and the overall décor echoes the pumpkin, russet, and mushroom coloration of the painting. Textiles and rugs enhance these autumnal tones.

BATHROOM

The private bathroom is fully equipped with custom, high-quality fixtures, including a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet, as well as multiple hanger bars and racks for bathing amenities.   Designed in warm, neutral shades of cream, beige, and gray, the Whittredge bathroom features a patterned Italian tile floor, subway-tiled shower, granite-topped sink, white porcelain fixtures, and chrome accessories.  The bathroom is also outfitted with a supplemental energy-boost heater and a powerful, yet quiet, ventilation system.  A north-facing, fully operable window filters indirect light within this environment.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The Whittredge Suite is equipped with a Mitsubishi ductless unit affording individual guest control of the heating and cooling system; air circulation is further supplemented by a ceiling fan.  New windows in period style are fully operable and introduce lots of exterior light and fresh air into the environment, according to guests’ preferences.  The upgraded electrical system provides ample outlets and also includes a charging block for electronic devices.  Robust WiFI is available ensuite and in all public rooms; cable connectors and ethernet ports support flat-screen TV service in several shared spaces on the first and third floors.
