Give a Piece of History a Home
Treasures for Drake Hall
Help us furnish Drake Hall with period-appropriate antiques, fine art, and decorative objects that preserve the character and spirit of this remarkable historic home.
Give History a Place to Live
Drake Hall’s owners, Kyle Shiroma and Gerhard Spillmann, are passionate collectors of antique furniture, fine art, and decorative arts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the period in which Drake Hall was created.
Over the decades, much of the home’s original furniture and decorative collection was dispersed while the property served other purposes. Today, thoughtfully selected period-appropriate pieces are helping bring Drake Hall’s rooms back to life.
If you have an antique, work of art, furnishing, or architectural piece from this era, Drake Hall may offer it something rare: a meaningful place within a historic home where it can be preserved, displayed, and appreciated for generations.
