Darby House Harnessmaker, drum major, and Mayor E.F. Darby paid $2,800 in gold coins for 3 acres and a small brick house which he enlarged into this magnificent Queen Anne Victorian at S. Walnut & Ford Streets. It became the renowned Collins Tea Room from 1947 to 1964, then a rest home and fell into disrepair. In 2003 Dr. William Reed completed a three-year restoration and the Darby House is now operated as a four-room Bed & Breakfast with a gourmet restaurant which accommodates parties and receptions. |
