New years tea and tour at the Cohen Bray house

Begin your New Year with a festive tea and a tour of the historical Cohen-Bray House. Built and furnished in 1884, the home is a unique example of the best of Victorian Aesthetic interiors, lovingly maintained by the original family.

We will share family stories as we lead you through lovely rooms full of the original furnishings, wallpapers and carpets, beautifully decorated in the family tradition with holly, mistletoe, and redwood garlands. For this festive season, candles and firelight bring out the richness of the original interiors. A candle bedecked tree can be enjoyed in the Craftsman style rooms which were updated post 1906.

Tea is served in the formal dining room, generous tea sandwiches and sweets are served on the family silver and china by family and friends.

Warm clothes are highly recommended. Guests are welcome to wear period clothing. Family collections of clothes, hats, lace, linens will be on display.
One truly steps back in time for this unforgettable experience
