Annapolis Inn

"The historic Annapolis Inn was built by Mr. Thomas Rutland in the 1770s and was later sold to Dr. James Murray, a Scottish immigrant who became the preeminent physician in Annapolis during the Revolutionary War period and who also became the physician to the Revolutionary Army and eventually to President Thomas Jefferson. The historic house has been archived as The Dr. James Murray House, a magnificently imposing Georgian townhouse located in the heart of the downtown district of historic Annapolis, Maryland. In the late 1848, the house was purchased by Mr. James Iglehart whose family made major modifications to the house making it a landmark in its own right. Mr. James Iglehart bought the property in 1848 and made significant changes to the design. He installed stone mantelpieces, window architraves, and other woodwork in the Greek Revival style. Mr. Iglehart created double parlors between the front and rear rooms. Staying at The Annapolis Inn allows you not to just walk through history but truly savor it. Our three suites, The Murray Suite, The Rutland Suite and The Iglehart Suite have been named after these initial three prestigious owners and Annapolis families here at the historic Annapolis Inn."
