Home’s History

The Creel House, also known historically as the Claremont House, was constructed in 1882 in Rome, Georgia.

This Second Empire-style mansion has served various roles through its history, from a private residence to a bed and breakfast.

Known for its unique architectural features such as a heavily corniced mansard roof and intricate plaster molding, the house gained additional fame when it was featured in the fourth season of the series “Stranger Things,” enhancing its appeal and historical significance.

Its Current State

The property was last purchased in 2019 by Shane Fatland and Bryan Schreier, who embarked on significant renovations to restore the mansion’s grandeur while modernizing its facilities.

These updates were crucial after the mansion ceased operations as the Claremont House bed and breakfast in March 2019.

Under the new ownership, the mansion underwent extensive restorations that included refurbishing the original woodwork and updating the kitchens and bathrooms.

The house was listed for $1.5 million and quickly went under contract, showcasing its desirability as both a residential and culturally significant property.
