The Partridge Inn 1.35

The Partridge Inn began life in the 1890s as a modest two-story private residence, opening as The Partridge Inn in 1910. The hotel enjoyed such great success, that expansion after expansion led to its present city-block size in 1929. The hotel gained prominence as a central gathering spot for the winter elite, hosting golf legends, presidents and legendary tea-dances in its grand halls and ballrooms, while the ground floor housed a post office, telegraph office, flower shop, bookstore, barber shop and hairdressing parlor. Over the next few decades, The Partridge Inn reigned as the epicenter for social activity and out-of-town guests. But time eventually took its toll, and the aging hotel faced total demolition in 1978. The Partridge Inn was saved, renovated, and reopened in 1987, continued to prosper and receive recognition for its restoration. Under new ownership and management, The Partridge Inn has just undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation to restore the historic hotel to its original grandeur. www.partridgeinncurio.com
