This is a very interesting house with a very interesting history.
It was built in 1860 as a church. In the early 1900's 2 brothers bought it and converted it into a duplex which they rented out. In 1982 the 2 sisters, Syd & Diane bought it for the fast growing catering business. The house needed serious remodeling, from cloth covered wiring to taking down a poured concrete garage with a sledge hammer, taking out a wall to make a much larger kitchen with tiled floor, raised garden beds in the back and front of house to grow herbs and flowers that were hard to find, putting 2 large decks on the back to be able to separate the residence from the business, building a new garage closer to the alley with an arbor that went from garage to deck with beautiful old fashioned, highly scented, climbing roses, and on and on! A year or so later, someone came knocking on the door and wanted us to open a restaurant in his "ice cream & pizza" business, located just across the alley in the back. So, in just a short time with no name, and no sign the restaurant became a huge success. Up went the wall in the kitchens and we remolded once again! Fast forward 20 years and both of us went to live with mom who was appreciative of the help and the company. That led to the creation of the bed and breakfast that was already off the ground and becoming more and more successful by word of mouth as was the restaurant. Since entertaining seems to be in the DNA of both sisters, and the location is beyond perfect with plenty of parking, the house has seen many old and new friends in and out stopping over to say hi, sharing lots of laughs, great food & drink and lots of fun!
From a Church in 1860 to 2 brothers to 2 sisters as the only owners...one comes in and feels immediately at home and comfortable.
