Dixon Mansion

Dixon Mansion  is a mansion located in Rochester, New York. It is also the home of the famous and wealthy Dixon family.

About
In the series, Walter and Emily Dixon lived in a large mansion in Rochester, New York. It is also stated this was the home that Marie Dixon grew up in. She lived there until the age of 18 as she left home to pursue an art degree at Juilliard. Soon afterwards, she came back to Dixon Mansion with her newborn daughter, Chloe, in 1995 and explained she was attending the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she took fashion design classes.

Even though Marie moved out of the house when she was eighteen, her parents left her room as it was, untouched. It still looks like Marie lives there. The only difference is that Emily made the decision to make it more appealing to Chloe as there are clothes stocked with mainly designer-label clothes from some of Chloe's favorite department stores.

Layout
The ground floor consist of one dining room, a big corridor, one lounge, two living rooms, a kitchen, a small bath room and Walter's office. There is a big garden on the mansion with lots of plants that Emily tends to on weekends. In front of the main house is no grass and only pavement, but there is some grass in the backyard near the swimming pool.

The house has a basement and an attic that are mainly used as storerooms, though the attic is strictly off-limits. The whole house consists of five floors, but the floors where the family reside are on the second and third floor while the fourth floor is reserved for the servants. At any rate there are at least four bedrooms, the first being Richard and Emily's bedroom with a huge walk-in closet, and Marie's bedroom, plus a guest bedroom next to it. There are also at least two bathrooms and a parlor room on the first floor.

Trivia

 * Dixon Mansion was built in 1765 by a man named Samuel Beckham, who happened to be a friend of the Dixon family.
 * There are two addtional rooms on the third floor - there is the music room, which Chloe frequently habits; and a drawing room that was once used to entertain guests and was not used after Chloe's mother, Marie, started kindergarten.
 * There is a small rose garden that sits below the bedroom window on the second floor. This was a special request Louise made to the house's gardener, who planted her roses in warm shades of reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks. According to Louise's diary, she liked the color scheme as it reminded her of an early morning sunrise.
 * The swimming pool wasn't added until 1898 and was a place Louise and her sister frequented in the summer when they were on vacation from school.
 * The only time the Dixon family ever did guided tours was in the early 1970s, but they discontinued them sometime in 1974 when the tourists began pocketing snuffboxes, priceless books, or trinkets the family displayed all over the house.
