Bliss House Grand 2-Bedroom

Bliss House is a historical gilded age Italianate mansion, which was commissioned by socialite Jeanette Bliss in 1907 and evokes the grandeur of Palladio's architectural masterpieces in Venice. The property was designed in the early 1900s by architects George Lewis Heins and Christopher Grant LaFarge, who specialized in designing social clubs.

While the house was being constructed, Jeannette traveled to Europe in search of period rooms. For the third floor of her new home she purchased an 18th century polyhedral mirrored boudoir from the Hôtel De Crillon in Paris. The room had been made for Louis-Marie-Augustin, duc d'Aumont. And, to properly house her late husband's extensive book collection she imported a baroque-style library room with a 16th century ceiling taken from a Neapolitan palazzo. For her salon, Jeanette purchased boiserie originally designed for the Hôtel De Sens in Paris.

After Jeannette passed away in 1923, her daughter Susan Bliss would later donate her mother's boudoir to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it exhibited in the Wrightsman Collection, and her library room to Bowdoin College in Maine. After Susan passed away in 1967, the home served as the Clinical Psychologist Center for Marital and Family Therapy, the Bliss mansion was converted to rental
