The house has been extensively remodeled and enlarged. Architect Jay Monroe did the design for the remodeling, and the Poes built both the original house and the addition. Upstairs are the master bedroom, other bedrooms and a prayer room, used by guests for reading, meditation and prayer.

The master bedroom has floor length windows, and harmonizing quilt, rug and pillows. Intriguing lamps, marble tables and lace curtains make for a pleasant arrangement.

Downstairs is the family room, a comfortable, informal room for relaxation, with an exit to the ground level patio. There are two other bedrooms, one which belonged to two of the Rowzie’s sons. Above each bed is a picture of each boy on graduation day from Wakefield County Day School in Flint Hill. The other bedroom, called the Blue Room, features a trundle bed.

The Deep Woods has often been used for church gatherings and retreats for small groups, so the many levels, bedrooms, and outdoor spaces have been enjoyed by many. The pond, tennis courts, patios, and riverside fishing add to the enjoyment.

This is the 47th year of the annual fundraiser for the Episcopal Church Women. The Dried Flower Sale and House Tbur is an autumn staple in the county, and many community members participate in its success.

Tea each day will be served, as it has been for many years, at the Middleton Inn in Washington. This location is donated by owner Mary Ann Kuhn, and a visit to it adds to the country weekend.

Tickets for visiting the three house and having tea are $15.00. Individual homes may be visited for $5.00 each. The headquarters of the tour is at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, where the many dried flower arrangements are on display for sale.
