The kitchen is ready for guests to enjoy and comes fully equipped with a full size stove-oven combo, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Guests will find all of the amenities of home in this kitchen, including enough place settings for four and all of the cookware needed to experiment with those new dishes.

The St. Lawrence Residence is historically rich with warm natural hardwoods and antique pops of color throughout. Guests are kept comfortable by the Residence’s multiple window A/C units on those hot summer nights and electric baseboard for those crisp fall mornings. Fully relaxing at the Dygert House is easy and we look forward to welcoming you this season!

A point of interest on the Clayton History Walking Tour, the home was originally the residence of Wells A. Dygert, a prominent businessman who had the largest lumbering and manufacturing businesses in Clayton. Detailed craftsmanship of W.A. Dygert’s trade is showcased on this property; including ornamental balustrades, unique cornices, decorative wood trim, and meticulously turned newel posts are among the treasures of this home. It is likely that similar features of other the 1890’s Victorian homes in the area are also the product of Mr. Dygert’s successful enterprise.
