Jonas Green House

This lovely old home is named after its owner, Jonas Green, a cousin and printer for Benjamin Franklin. Jonas moved into the house in 1738 with his new bride Anne Catherine, and his decendants have lived here ever since the present owner is Jonas 5 Greats Grandson. The house offers three bedrooms, all containing elements of the original structure; Anne Catherine Room. Named for Jonas' wife, this was the original master bedroom, supposedly built by Jonas himself. It has a large double bed (originally a rope bed), a working fireplace, and a private bath with tub and shower. The room has a beautiful view of the State Capital dome. either two twins or one king bed. The bath is across the hall and is shared with the Frederick Green Room. The B & B quarters have a large, tastfully furnished living room and an adjoining dining room. We serve an extended coffee in the Frederick Green Room. Named for Jonas and Anne Catherine's oldest son, and probably occupied by Frederick at sometime in his life. It has a double bed (also originally a rope bed) and a working fireplace. There is a shared bath immediately adjacent to the room. Boxing Room. This room is so named because it has no fireplace and could not be used as a colonial bedroom. It was, therefore, used as a storeroom for boxes and trunks. Today, this charming room can offerntinental breakfast of seasonal fruits, freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly baked bread and muffins, jams, jellies, cereals, coffee and tea.
