The Inn is located atop a high bluff overlooking the majestic Mississippi River and is surrounded by 54 rolling acres.

The Inn gets its name from the unusual leaded and painted glass window on the first landing of the grand oak staircase. The window pictures Saint Cecelia, patron saint of musicians, holding a mandolin.

Constructed in 1883 by manufacturer and financier B.B. Richards, this four-story Stick style house with Eastlake effects is one of the finest and most original Victorian homes in Dubuque
