About the Hamilton House Estate
A Hot Springs inn and wedding location
Hamilton House Estate is located on a wooded, three acre peninsula on Lake Hamilton. The estate was planned in the late 1920's and completed in 1931. The grounds of the property are very impressive. One enters the front of the property between two stone piers and Black Iron Gates. The circular driveway features a unique anchor located in the center of the drive. The 3 ton anchor was originally part of the battleship USS Massachusetts, which was part of Teddy Roosevelt's "Great White Fleet".
The house was patterned after an Italian Villa and features marble floors from Mexico, hand molded tiles and cornices, Carrara glass tiles from Italy, a Romeo and Juliet balcony over the front entrance and the original red clay tiles also imported from Mexico. The chandelier in the main room was shipped in from San Francisco. It was imported from Vienna and dates back to the Gold Rush Days. Amoirés and the lovely Venus De Medici, sculpted in 1870 in Carrara, Italy, are from the private family collection.
Constructed in a series of five levels - all steel, masonry and concrete, it was pattered in the style of an Italian villa on the Mediterranean Sea. A large, two-story boathouse was constructed at lakeside, housing a machine shop during World War II. Stables also were built adjacent to the boathouse. Inside the Manor House, the inlaid marble floor in the foyer and Hamilton Room was imported from Mexico. Jazz plaster (an application of plaster and color at one time) and the hand-molded plaster ceiling coved that conceal indirect lighting depict a workmanship of a time gone by.
