The Adams House

Frommer's Review

Monroe Shipe, the developer of Hyde Park, designed his homes to be both attractive and affordable to the middle class. This B&B, built as a single-story bungalow, expanded into a more grandiose colonial revival in 1931, and, restored in the 1990s by a preservation architect, honors Shipe's egalitarian spirit. Although the house is beautifully furnished, it has a friendly, open feel to it -- in part because of its 12-foot ceilings and in part because of the hospitable Sydney Lock, who owns and runs it with her adorable cocker spaniel, Dulce. All the rooms are lovely, but the nicest is the suite with a king-size four-poster bed and a sun porch with a foldout couch. A separate house out back doesn't have as much character, but compensates with a TV/VCR and Jacuzzi.
