Built in 1840 for Dr. Clement Francis
Shiverick, the town physician, and situated at the prominent
corner of Pease's Point Way and Pent Lane, The Shiverick
Inn today offers a delightful blend of past and present.
Great care was taken in its recent restoration to preserve
the architectural details of this gracious mansion, revive
its romantic ambiance and exquisitely recreate its elegant
grandeur.
As soon as you enter the immaculate
grounds, you become part of a different world, a simple,
but grandly romantic sequence of visual pleasures and
physical comforts purposely designed to enchant the
senses and enrich the spirit. Each of the one-of-a-kind
guest rooms, suites and common rooms recalls a by-gone
era, transporting the Inn visitors to a time when dedication
to tradition, elegance and comfort were imperative.
Through painstaking attention to
detail, the Inn has meticulously preserved the graceful
formalities of this distinctive period, blending American,
English and French 18th and 19th century antiques with
rich fabrics, fine wallpapers, oriental rugs and vivid
colors borrowed from the New England landscape. Even
the random width floor boards throughout the Inn are
warn to a glowing patina only one and a half centuries
of perpetual footsteps could achieve.
