The inn was commissioned to be built in 1867 by S. A. Harrison as a family summer vacation cottage. It was designed and built in the Italianate style, complete with cupola, by the renowned architect, Stephen Decatur Button. After being retained as a private summer residence in the late 1800's and early 1900's, the cottage then served as a restaurant and guest house for many years.
We are conveniently located in the Historic District on a quiet, tree lined street-one block from the beach and the Victorian Mall, close to many fine restaurants and shops in the midst of quaint Victorian architecture. Enjoy walking and biking to the antique shops, art galleries, the restored Physick Estate, take a trolley tour, a historical walking tour, or view the interiors of several Victorian homes open to the public.
