Last Saturday, the girls had a photo session (billed as "vintage photos") at a local home. The Reid Brake House, originally built in 1887, has undergone extensive renovation and opened for events last fall.
The owner removed red shag carpeting to reveal the original hardwood flooring.
The house has been meticulously decorated. The owner spent 15 years collecting furniture and pieces for this house. The result is a warm, authentic feel.
Many of the pieces reminded me of the Biltmore Estate.
The high ceilings and dramatic fixtures are stunning.
I only had my point-and-shoot with me so the below photo fails (as each of these photos do) to capture the magnificent lighting in the below restroom. This room is the epicenter of good lighting. Persons with Seasonal Affective Disorder should be prescribed a bath in this tub, beneath that stained glass window.
You are cured.
I especially liked all of the stairways.
...and all of the original details, like build-in shelves and cabinets
The adjacent carriage house was in a state of disarray. Therefore, a large banquet room was erected, perfect for weddings or parties.
This venue is perfect for a wedding, but is also flexible enough for practically any event imaginable.
By the time we left, the girls were calling this home "the castle," and we learned that was appropriate, because that is the moniker the owner has given the house.
(Full disclosure, the owner's daughter and cousin Lexy (of the LEXY! fame) have been lifelong friends.)
We were assigned a bedroom, and quickly got dressed and ready.

Lauren also liked the stairways
We had a fantastic time visiting this historical home and local treasure. The Reid Brake House can be found on Facebook here. This is a wonderful location for your next event.
