Inn Details
Historic Victorian home originally built in late 1880's and extensively expanded and remodeled in 1902 by L. A. Scott. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a Texas Historic Landmark. The home is furnished with many antiques including a well tuned baby grand piano in the parlor for the enjoyment of our musical guests. Celtic decorations, from the owners collections, have been applied throughout the home to enhance the Scottish theme of this bed & breakfast. However, if you've a mind to play a tune on the available bagpipes, you'll have to take them outside in consideration of guests who may not fully appreciate the finest instument ever invented. The house was completely restored in 1983 at which time modern conveniences were carefully added while maintaining the home's authentic Neo-Classical Victorian architecture. The wrap-around veranda and second floor front porch offer extensive areas for guests to relax and socialize. The house is located three blocks from the historic McKinney shopping district.
