Over the years, Ceperley Mansion has been home to many individuals. The house has a unique story and life because each family or organization that lived here has contributed to the heritage of the building.

	When the Ceperley's first lived there, it was a house especially designed for them, reflecting their needs, standards, and tastes. The grandeur of the house also provides an example of the living standards of the wealthy during the early 1900's.
The many other families who lived in the house, after the Ceperley's also added to the history and heritage of the building. The presence and activities of the Bogardus family and the Buscombe family in the 1920's, mark the life of luxury and the social 1920's. The selling of the mansion by the Munros, in 1939, was caused by the effects of the Great Depression.

From 1939 onwards, the mansion was too large and expensive for a single family to maintain. Successive religious groups and fraternities housed their members in this residence. The building was put to an entirely new use where it became an art gallery - a public structure, allowing all to enjoy the fine craftsmanship and gracious space of the mansion.
