What is The Lloyd House?

Since 1957 my family has occupied this wonderful old home in Clifton.  It is listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks for its distinguished architecture (Richardson Romanesque Revival, 1888) and because it was the residence from 1908 of John Uri Lloyd, chemist, pharmacist, educator, botanist and author.  Dr. Lloyd, together with is also remarkable brothers founded the Lloyd Library on Plum Street, an internationally important repository of botanical - pharmacutical knowledge.

In 1997 I began hosting here a various assortment of programs related to  my interest in the holistic approach.  We have had yoga classes, musical performances, cooking classes, drumming circles, shamanism classes, healings by Tibetan monks, performance art and theater, ... even weddings.  Most people, coming for the first time to this house say, "Oh, I have noticed this house for years and always wanted to see the inside!"
