Lady Linden was built in 1887 for industrialist Samuel Nevin Hench. After several subsequent owners the property fell into serious disrepair. Jim and Jean Leaman purchased the house in 2006 and meticulously restored it to original splendor, including wall and ceiling papers and furnishings of the era. Lady Linden is located in the Avenues district of York which continued to be developed through to the 1950's. The history of architectural styles is seen as you stroll through the neighborhood. Tours by the owner available by appointment.

 

The wall and ceiling papers in this beautiful parlor are hand printed reproductions of Victorian papers. Attention to detail and authenticity provides an elegant and tranquil setting for evening relaxation.

Breakfast is served in the formal dining room.
