Celebrated History

John Nicholas Rose completed the construction of
Esperanza Mansion in 1838. He was the son of Robert
and Jane Rose who had journeyed to the Finger Lakes
region from their plantation in Stafford County, Virginia
in 1804. Esperanza Mansion is a distinguished example
of Greek Revival residential architecture, a style popular
in the United States from 1820 to 1850. The house's
rectangular form, balanced proportions and classical details
are firmly rooted in the Greek Revival tradition. At the time
it was built, Penn Yan was a very small rural village. It was
in this setting that John Rose succeeded in farming to
become one of the areas wealthiest citizens.

Over the years Esperanza has served as a vineyard,
1000-acre farm, distinguished home to several families,
a link in the Underground Railroad, The Yates County
Poorhouse, and Chateau Esperanza Winery. Today,
Esperanza Mansion is a National Registered Historic
Landmark.

Esperanza Mansion was purchased in 2002 by area
developer David Wegman and his wife, Lisa. The Wegman
family has worked to restore and renovate Esperanza to its
19th century splendor. In addition to its original Greek Revival
structure, a full service fine food restaurant, state-of-the-art
banquet facility, 9 mansion guestrooms and the 21 rooms
at the Inn at Esperanza have been incorporated to make
Esperanza Mansion a full service destination resort.
