The firm offices occupy the former Peter’s Mansion, circa 1860. James H. Peters built the house on several acres of land he acquired from The Honorable Anthony Reckless. The original property fronted on Broad Street and included what is now Peters Place. The home was built in the picturesque Italianate Style that was popular at the time and contains several historic influences. The scrollwork of the elaborate cornice brackets and the porch decorations are American Victorian. A Romanesque influence can be seen in the arched entranceway, the round headed windows and the arches on the porch. The floor plan is essentially Georgian with a center hall, stairway and fourteen foot ceilings. Selected areas of the interior construction and décor have been preserved for view.
