Description

Behind the Walls Tour and Tea



Have you ever driven down Lawrence Street and wondered what was behind the magnificent stone walls near PMA? If you are the winner of this Auction Experience, you'll have the rare privilege of discovering Methuen's Hidden Treasure!



The Winning Bidder and five guests will be provided a private mini-tour of Methuen's historical gem, the Edward Searles Estate at Presentation of Mary. You will be able to view the turrets, gate and carriage houses and numerous treasures in museum-like rooms, including rare pink marble pillars in the ballroom quarried in the Himalayas and a monumental marble urn carved with scenes from the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders.



Your tour will end with a delightful Tea served in the Estate's French Drawing Room. 



This is a rare opportunity as the property has only been open to the public just five times since the 1950's. Don't miss out!

Special Instructions

Tour will take place at a date and time mutually convenient to the parties.
