Ann Starrett Mansion

744 Clay St
Port Townsend, WA 98368-5808
United States of America
Innkeeper(s): Richard Winner


(888) 385-3205

 

Circa 1889. George Starrett came from Maine to Port Townsend and became the major residential builder. By 1889, he had constructed one house a week, totaling more than 350 houses. The Smithsonian believes the Ann Starrett's elaborate free-hung spiral staircase is the only one of its type in the United States. A frescoed dome atop the octagonal tower depicts four seasons and four virtues. On the first day of each season, the sun causes a ruby red light to point toward the appropriate painting. The mansion won a "Great American Home Award" from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

This is one of the most beautiful Victorian Inns I have ever stayed in. The decorating is divine! The Innkeeper was very accomodating and friendly. This was great!
