To those of our residents who are unfamiliar with the local history of this area, the property that Palazzo 1837 sits on is referred to as Quail Acres. Built in 1837, the mansion has been well-preserved over the years and was originally home to the Quail family that immigrated here from Ireland. The Palladian-style home was eventually acquired by a Washington County couple that restored it and brought it back to life for new generations.
