The Claremont House is in the series Stranger Things.

Gothic Second Empire Victorian Architecture 1882’

Hamilton Yancey, Claremont’s original owner, was too young to serve in the Civil War – being only 12 to 16 in 1860-1864. But his family dubbed him “Colonel” as a young boy. He and Florence had 8 children, although their daughter Julia died at the age of 4. The other 7 had a grand time romping around the 8000 square feet of space, but their rooms were in the attic with the servants. The family lived in the cottage out back during the construction, so they had a close vantage point for every phase. The cottage now contains two of the inn’s guestrooms with a small kitchen and a bathroom. Hamilton Yancey is buried in Myrtle Hill Cemetery, which sits atop one of Rome’s seven hills.

Claremont was named for Mrs. Yancey’s beloved cousin, Clare de Graffenried, and their youngest daughter was also named Clare. The mansard roof, slate tiles and 14-foot ceilings are typical of the style of architecture, but the ornate gingerbread trim was very unusual in the South at that time. It was said to have been brought down by northern builders who were familiar with it in other parts of the country.

"Great triumphs of engineering genius—the locomotive, the truss bridge, the steel rail— ... are rather invention than engineering proper."
