Fitzroy Hall, our stately Victorian home was built in 1872 by Thomas Essery Esq. for Alexander Brown Esq., a local banker. For a time after it was completed, one of the room, now the Alexander Brown Suite, was used as a bank. Alexander Brown’s wife was Georgina Coles, a daughter of the Honorable George Coles, a Father of Confederation and Premier of Prince Edward Island when both Responsible Government and the Free School Act came to be. This prominent figure in Island history and the history of Confederation often lived at Fitzroy Hall and spent the last years of his life here, amongst he daughter and family. In 1911, the property and home were sold to Samuel A. MacDonald, a local merchant. The MacDonald family maintained the home until April 1993 when the Doucette family acquired the home. Becoming proud and caring owners, Helen and Reginald took on the responsibility of carefully preserving the beauty of the past and history behind this Historic Home.

I like to think that my whole home, on some level displays my collection of Victorian antiques. I have discerning taste when it comes to everything from furniture to collectible items all dating to my Inn's origins. However, if I had to think of some things in particular that I collect, I would have to say it would be antique dolls and purses. I enjoy displaying these porcelain dolls throughout my home, including the guest rooms. The purses are often times displayed at the entrance of my home along with antique hats and hat boxes. This provides an authentic feel and exudes the personality of Fitzroy Hall from the very first step through the door.
