Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The home boasts its original pine floors, chandeliers, fireplaces, & stunning trim, so it is easy to transport yourself back to the mid 1800’s. Perched atop a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, the Dawley house has a lovely side lawn to host events in the summer. The Crane & Pelican has been open here since 2009. We strive to maintain this historic gem for generations to come.
