Gazing out over the sparking waters and snow capped mountains of Puget Sound, it is easy to understand why Francis James chose this premiere property of Port Townsend to build his exquisite Victorian mansion in 1889. Perched on a bluff, with a sweeping view of Port Townsend Bay, the romance and elegance of another era still lingers here. You will find beautifully maintained parlors and guest rooms rich in history and charm, yet maintained with the modern amenities which discerning travelers have come to expect in a first class inn.
