Facilities and Capacity

The Alverthorpe estate was established in the early 1800s and elements have survived to the modern day, including a stone folly, large stone wall, and bridge. An intimate Quaker meetinghouse was constructed in 1836 and still stands on the property. The modern manor was built in 1939, a 52-room mansion inspired by the art deco architectural style.
