CHARLOTTE'S ROSE INN

Contractor William H. Fraser built our home in l884. Mr. Fraser was responsible for other buildings in Charlottetown including the Kirk of St. James and City Hall. The first occupant of the home was Mary Jane Moore. At that time, women were not allowed to own property directly, so the deed was conveyed to a third party who held it in trust for her. Two additions have been made to the original building both at the rear of the property on the first and second floors.

Over the course of the years, the home has undergone many changes … a private residence, an apartment building, a boarding house, a nursing home (combined with 9 Grafton Street), and now a Bed and Breakfast. Innkeepers quarters were constructed in the former Wood’s Nursing Home commercial kitchen, just behind the parking spaces. When planning the renovations, every effort was made to retain the charm of a Victorian family home.

The exterior landscaping and container gardening have won awards from “Communities in Bloom” and “Keep Your Hometown Beautiful” contests. We often include our own fresh herbs in our full breakfasts.
