Description

James and Jane Rundlet pulled out all the stops when they built their home in Portsmouth. From twinkling wallpaper to central heating, their house had all the bells and whistles! Join us in this behind-the-scenes tour as we explore the basement, scour the carriage barn, and climb a hidden staircase to see the remarkable technology and design elements that made this house a groundbreaking home. This guided tour includes the interior and exterior of Rundlet-May House. Visitors will walk over unpaved ground, through outbuildings, and into the basement of the building. There are multiple stairs both in and outside of the house.

Advance registration recommended.
