The Historic Georgian-Style Home of Cincinnati Developer and Arts Patron John J. Emery and His Wife Irene was designed by the architect William Adams Delano of Delano & Aldrich, the leading country-house architectural firm in the United States.

The house is a combination of Georgian and Queen Anne styles and when finished had 36 rooms, 19 fireplaces, 21 baths, and included a wing of guest rooms. Originally sited on 1,200 wooded acres in Indian Hill, the house was built in 1928 to rival the grandest houses of America and Europe.

When constructed, every detail of Peterloon was carefully chosen for its beauty and historical relevance from European castles and estates. Today, the masterful artistry found in each facet of Peterloon’s design makes the estate a magnificent and memorable venue for your event. Most functions take place in the home’s historic living, dining and library rooms, where your guests will marvel at the 400-year-old oak parquet de Versailles flooring, the 16th century Indigo Jones mantelpiece in the front hall, and the hand-carved Slavonian oak paneling from the mid-1600s.
