Located within the original Leftwich House, these two rooms are adjacent to one another. The Murphy and The Dixon offer a refined and intimate setting for gatherings and celebrations. The room’s historic character and thoughtful design make it a versatile space for cocktail hours, seated dinners, or smaller private events.
Its proximity to neighboring spaces allow events to flow naturally throughout the home while still maintaining the warmth and charm of a historic mansion venue.
