Originally a small garage, the Eisenhowers converted this building into a guesthouse in 1955. The home features a bedroom, a small bathroom, and a sitting room, with a porch offering tremendous views of the surrounding area. The bell on top of the guesthouse originated from the Pitzer Schoolhouse on Millerstown Road, which John and Barbara Eisenhower owned at the time. The Eisenhower grandchildren wanted the bell placed atop the guesthouse, and like many grandparents, Ike and Mamie agreed to the request of their beloved grandchildren. The guesthouse was used primarily as extra space for visiting friends and family.
