| | | | Assets | Constructed in 1857 by the Florida Railroad, this clapboard Victorian building is the oldest continuously operating lodging property in the state. Ulysses S. Grant stayed here, as did Cuban revolutionary Jose Marti, and the Rockefellers and Carnegies broke bread in the boarding house-style dining room that continued to operate into 2009. The 11 rooms in the original building have been brought up to modern standards and are furnished in antiques. Most of these rooms have working fireplaces. The four largest rooms are in a wing added in 1998; one of these has log-cabin walls, all have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. | | | | | Location | The seaport village of Fernandina on Amelia Island has a rich history both as a thriving commercial seaport (rivaling Savannah and New York during the 19th century) and a robust resort destination in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Inn occupies a prime historic district location in the village populated by restaurants, galleries, boutiques, museums and centuries old churches. Current C-3 zoning regulations allow for future expansion of the Inn by adding retail operations, guest accommodations or expansion of the restaurant. | | |

Amelia Island
Located just off the coast of northeast Florida, Amelia Island is a barrier island rich in colorful history and breath-taking natural beauty. Its long, beautiful beaches, abundant wildlife and pristine waters have made the island a favorite destination for outdoor adventure. Upscale resorts, with world-class spas, championship golf and exclusive dining, blend effortlessly with a captivating collection of bed and breakfast inns and historic districts. The island is home to Fernandina Beach, once a vibrant Victorian seaport village, and now a charming downtown district of eclectic shops, galleries, attractions and eateries.
Amelia Island, Florida has been named among the Top 10 North American islands by Conde Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Awards, finishing in the #5 spot ahead of Hilton Head, S.C., Sanibel, FL, and Captiva, FL. The awards are based on the results of the Readers’ Choice Survey, which is the largest independent poll of consumers’ preferences, second in size only to the U.S. Census. (2007)
The renovation and revitalization of the Historic District in the village of Fernandina has been flourishing for nearly fifteenyears. Concurrently, the island’s robust cultural environment has grown to include an annual Book Island Festival, Chamber Music Week, Jazz Amelia and weekly events sponsored by the Amelia Island Museum of History, active thespian groups, the Arts Academy and the Island Art Association. The result is this late Victorian village has developed into a major tourist destination.
