Base Lighting Options

From the "Historical Collection" The Thomas Lightfoote Inn is located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and was built in 1792.  It was originally built as a plantation house, by Thomas Up-Pen-Grooff and his brother.  The Grooff brothers were Quakers, and against the owning of slaves, and had built a tunnel under the house leading to the Susquehanna River a few hundred feet away, allowing fleeing slaves from the south free passage.  This was known as the Underground Railroad.  The actual Inn was converted into a bed and breakfast until it was destroyed in a fire in 2002.

The piece also features a stucco exterior, giving it a brick appearance, as well as detailed window scenes that were upgraded in 2025. It's available in a two tea light or standard base option which has more simplistic window scenes.

Materials
