The Country Mansion
We invite you to come and experience a home that was built in 1891 as the Scott Boarding House. Part of history still exists with the home being part of the once world famous Keeley Institute, a worldwide treatment center for drug and alcohol abuse from the 1920's to the late 1960's.
Take pleasure in our beautiful handcrafted oak and maple woodwork, original fireplaces in our lounge area, and antiques while you enjoy lunch or dinner. Although the building has been changed somewhat throughout the years, the main structure still remains the same. When the Oughton family purchased the boarding house in 1895, it was remodeled to include the woodwork that is still present today. One photo dates back to the late 1890's of the Scott Boarding House and another features a 1910 photo of the original Ohlendorf Bakery. This page contains 10 photographs showing the transformation of the Mansion, and the Ohlendorf Bakery. However, it takes a few minutes to load!
This is a collection of photos and post cards that depicts the history of the Country Mansion and the Ohlendorf Bakery. You can see the structural changes that the original Scott building has undergone throughout the years. We are sorry to say that we do not have a photo of the original face of the East St. location of the bakery. It has seen many changes throughout the years from its original location on West Main.
