The interior of the Battle-Friedman House is as stunning and intricate as its exterior. The inside of the house is best used in conjunction with the gardens for events over 50 guests, but the interior can be used for a reception of up to 75 on its own. The main floor of the house features two front parlors, a bathroom, and a large two-part dining room in the rear of the house. All events are hosted on the main floor only.

Sprawling English gardens surround the Battle-Friedman House, giving it a wonderful bit of natural beauty despite its ideal downtown location. The gardens and lawns wrap all the way around the house allowing for several picture-perfect event spaces:
The Front Portico
Ideal for the main event of your day, be it a cocktail reception or a ceremony, the front portico and brick walkway that lead to it are a great garden setting for medium to large groups. This area can be set with chairs for a ceremony or seating or cocktail tables for a reception.
The South Lawn
Our largest open space at the Battle-Friedman House, the South Lawn is ideal for large groups and fun receptions. The South Lawn can be tented to provide shade or rain protection on your event day. It features a water feature with a fountain at one end of the lawn and a beautiful gazebo and Magnolia tree at the other end of the lawn.
The Greenhouse Garden
This small, but picturesque garden sits nestled between the South Lawn and Front Portico. Its perfect for smaller ceremonies of 20-30 guests and features beautiful statuary and a proud southern Magnolia tree.
Manicured walking paths and geometrically designed garden plots surround these three main spaces with additional space for guests to enjoy wandering as they socialize at your event.
The grounds contain a one-story brick building immediately to the rear of the home. An old French garden is at the side of the house with time-worn brick walkways wandering through honeysuckle, roses, camellias, and flowering shrubs. A shady vine-covered summer house stands in the center of the garden. The approach to the home leads through a walk, lined by rose bushes and an evergreen hedge. The grounds are enclosed with a stone and iron fence.
