The Victorian Christmas Tea is a breathtaking step back into time featuring fragrant teas, sumptuous seasonal treats served on fine china and linens, and glorious holiday decorations that hearken back to a simpler, yet grander, time in Toledo’s history. Guests will enjoy teas specially selected to complement each savory and sweet menu item.
The Matthew Brown House, a family home built in 1865, boasts 13 rooms elegantly adorned for the holidays. Highlights include eight decorated fireplace mantels, a whimsical Toy Room, numerous Santa Clauses, and the delightful Krinkle Tree designed by Patience Brewster.
The Vistula Historic District features some of the city’s finest historic architectural treasures and predates the incorporation of the City of Toledo. Magnificent mansions were built right next to smaller working-man homes, corner stores and ethnic churches. Vistula is not only designated as one of Toledo’s historic neighborhoods, but is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
