The Stimson-Green mansion is a well preserved reminder of what old first hill used to be like. There's a social club occupying the carriage house to the mansion, Birch Road Cellars, that is worth joining as well.

Our first experience at the Stimson-Green Mansion was a wedding and reception being held there. The building is lovely, and this particular event was catered by Kaspar's, who clearly have a lot of experience here. It was a very nice combination. Our biggest uncertainty beforehand was how much, if any, parking was available. It turns out that they have access to a garage behind the mansion, and there was a person welcoming us at the entry to the garage, giving us instructions on getting to the pedestrian entrance and a sheet of paper with the code for the lock. The exit door could have been better labelled, but that was the only glitch. The venue itself is lovely, looking very much like I imagine it did when it was built in the early 20th century. The caterers were amazingly efficient, both in serving drinks and hot appetizers on the veranda, and in reconfiguring the main room from the ceremony to a sit-down dinner while drinks were being served. This was a great location, enhanced by caterers who clearly knew what they were doing.
