The Simon Mansion

The result, two years and $250,000 later, was the Simon Mansion, today home of the Third Street Alliance for Women and Children. The women of the family were presented with this “High Renaissance Chateau,” indeed the most opulent in the area. Exterior features include a carved likeness of Mrs. Simon, an Indiana limestone façade with a granite base, and a Vermont slate roof with copper ornamentation that still retains its mystique. The lavish interior boasts Spanish leather, Italian marble, Delft and Bavarian tiles, South American mahogany and Caen Stone, as well as frescoed ceilings.
