	“ The Parlor” Enjoy a Peaceful Bed and Breakfast Stay in An Elegant Queen Ann Victorian Home. This beautiful Queen Ann was built in 1879 after the original house was destroyed by fire in 1878. It was maintained as a private summer home and many stories concerning those who lived and visited here abound. Many of Cape May’s tours state that Wallace Warfield, later to become the Dutchess of Windsor, summered here but this has not been substantiated. However it was reported in The Philadelphia papers as occurring. A copy of that article is found at a local hotel, since her “Coming-out Party”, occurred there. Victorian house plans, divided space so everyone in the household had some privacy in an age that was intensely communal. This can be seen in several of our public rooms which are just large enough for two or three… all places to escape from the pressures of too much close family living. Today, this building is our home. We have been residents of Cape May for the last ten years and have enjoyed the peacefulness of the wonderful town that our Inn resides. The dining room where guests eat breakfast is where our family enjoys their meals. You can enjoy, as we do, the many quiet spaces to read a good book or write a postcard. The sun room by the parlor is perfect in spring, or the small library on the second floor in winter. The entire family thinks the turret room is the greatest place to escape and get away from everyone. Maybe its because it is only eight feet around and on the third floor. Our goal is to provide a quiet restful stay. So come, enjoy our home and the beautiful town of Cape May as we do. It’s a great place to be.

	An open, three story chestnut staircase leads the way to the second and third floor bedrooms. The leaded glass window is the largest of five original stain glass windows. The window was completely restored in 1999, and we are told it will last another 125 years. back to home
