Copper Beech Inn

 South Pacific ended around 10:30 p.m. and Goodspeed Opera House is almost two hours from Ridgefield. Staying at Copper Beech Inn in the Ivoryton part of Essex made more sense than attempting the drive.

The inn was built in the late 19th century as a private home for the CEO of a company that made piano keys from ivory.  Over the years it ran into the woes that often bedevil many big old homes.  In 1972 it was bought out of bankruptcy and turned into a bed and breakfast inn and a fine dining restaurant.

What a fine second life this house has had as a B&B and Inn. It looks like a comfortable place to stay.
