2068 Wentworth St Reidsville NC

Historic Chinqua Penn Plantation is nestled on close to 23 acres in Reidsville, NC
Built in 1925, the Manor house was designed by New York architect Harry C. Ingalls. The exterior is rustic with a slate roof, exposed oak logs, and stone that was quarried on the plantation site.
The 27 room interior is eclectic with inspiration from all over the world. Hand carved wood, molded plaster ceilings, and hand painted tile can be found throughout the mansion. With 35 ft ceilings and hand painted exposed beams, the dramatic living room was intended to resemble the nave of a Spanish style church. The solarium is painted in a Renaissance design and overlooks the rose garden. The walls of the oval dining room are made of whitewashed Swedish pine bordered by chinquapin leaves. The hall leading to the master suite lined with cedar closets. The sitting room of the master is octagonal with a built in corner cupboard. The bedroom is large with a beautiful fireplace. Leading from that area is the dressing room and master bath.
The guest quarters are located on the second floor. This area showcases the eclectic taste of the original owners of the property. In the five quest bedrooms, you will find original silver-backed Chinese wallpaper, French provincial design, and Italian inspired bedrooms. Three of these bedrooms have private baths while the other two share a bath. On the other end of the second floor are the servants quarters. The four bedrooms in this area are more intimate and share a large bath easily accessed on the hall.
The Lodge Group, a series of quest cottages, gift shop, conference room, restrooms,and clock tower, sit closer to the main road. The cottages once served as quarters for the staff as well as a laundry facility. The stone clock tower stands at 75 feet tall and was constructed by J. S. Skambato in 1931. The original owners built the tower to alert staff and guests of the time while they were farming or riding horses on the estate.
