The Inn was constructed in the Civil War era by James A. Brown, an attorney and a graduate of West Virginia University. He fell
in love with a beautiful girl named Isabel who was from Baltimore. They were married and the house was given to Isabel as a wedding
gift from her loving husband.
However, they lived in the house for only one year. Isabel contracted smallpox and soon died. James Brown became a Victorian mourner
and would not allow anything belonging to his lovely wife to be touched. Nothing was to be changed or moved. Even her sewing
remained as she left it, needle in cloth and thimble nearby.
Highlighting the exterior decoration of the house was the roof; in large letters of light colored slate was the word "home".
Through the years and change of owners, this was either removed or covered with new roofing. Much of the front part of the home
has been restored to its original nature.
The Inn has a total of seven fireplaces, three downstairs and four upstairs. The hearths and mantels have been refinished and
restored to their original condition.
Guest sleeping rooms were added in 1948 as a new addition to the inn. Also included in this large addition were the large kitchen
and dining room.
