Overview

Circular Manor is Located in the heart of Saratoga Springs' Historic District and is within walking distance of the thoroughbred race track and downtown attractions. Our guests can take advantage of our ideal location whether they're interested in a stroll in the park, fine dining, or an afternoon of shopping. Circular Manor was built in 1903 by William Case, a prominent contractor and lumber company owner. The Manor front entrance foyer reveals a magnificent example of Mr. Case's involvement in the lumber business. Quarter sawn oak archways, columns, stairway banister and floors are complemented by the present day warm and youthful Victorian decor. The home was designed by R. Newton Breeze and is a combination of many styles. The building style is primarily Colonial Revival. The Queen Ann circular porch is a prominent feature and is thoroughly enjoyed by summer guests. The Case Family was well known in Saratoga Springs for their social engagements. Discovered during the restoration were several original society column articles describing the opulent social gatherings of Mr. and Mrs. Case. After the Death of Mr. Case, Mrs. Case sold the property in 1923 to two sisters, both registered nurses, who operated the home as the Viasana Convalescent Rest Home. In 1946 the home was sold to Moses and Francis Stein who used it as their residence and rented rooms to visiting tourists. In 1977, their son Max Stein, a prominent Saratoga Springs accountant, took over the operation of the 12-bedroom guest house with his wife Mariam. the guest house was then known as the Circular Lodge. The building stood vacant for several years before Dieter & Michele Funiciello purchased it in 1996. After three years of passionate and meticulous restoration, (with a lot of help from family and friends), The Funiciello's opened their residence as the Circular Manor Bed & Breakfast.
