Wine Cave Art and Displays

This unique space in Dawn Manor features the Andrew Carnegie table, which was made in England in the late 1800’s and shipped over to America. It was a gift by Carnegie to his friends the Raabs who used it regularly in Dawn Manor. See the portrait of Andrew on the wall. This unique furniture piece was purchased by Steve and Linda Uphoff in 2012 and the family had it restored for use here in the restaurant’s private dining room.

The famous veiled lady painting of Helen Raab was done by Wisconsin artist George Raab. The interior photos of Dawn Manor are from the days of Helen Raab and illustrate her restoration of the mansion to its former 1855 Victorian grandeur.
