The building is a part of Kingston's history and is on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. The owners have been careful to preserve its original looks, with its multi-story brick walls, brownish-black flagstone front porch and steps and its stately interior rooms. Our first-floor lodging, with its high ceilings, majestic, tall windows and heavy, white trim on its doors and windows were obviously the original components of this structure, along with its hardwood floors. We enjoyed a comfortable, quiet bedroom, private bath and connected stateroom. One's first impression might be that this place is old and needs to be updated, but then you realize that this building was lovingly made by craftsmen of prodigious skills and meant to last for many generations. It is solid, well-cared-for and the longer you stay there, the more you appreciate how well it is made and how different, in a good way, it is from the cramped, cookie-cutter lodgings in a Best Western, or Holiday Inn. One feature -- or lack thereof -- is that there is no elevator. Obviously, back in the day when this was built, there were no such things. It is a climb up a rather long stairway, if you book second floor lodgings. But if you are in good health, it should not be a problem. And the owners are only too happy to carry your luggage. Big pluses: You are a short walk from great eateries -- Italian, Greek, Asian fusion, delis, coffee shops and many others.We will stay at the Wiltwyck again.
