Welcome to our History Page
Ottaway Inn is located in Corry,
Pennsylvania, thirty (30) miles southeast of Erie. This historical town was
established in 1861. Ottaway Inn was designed and occupied by one of
Corry’s premiere architects, A.P. Mount. The Inn’s rehabilitation
concentrates on its historical features, such as the variety of wood used in
the original design of the home.
Ottaway Inn was built in 1865, the year Abe
Lincoln died. A.P. Mount also designed the Corry Municipal Building, the
Corry Public Library, the Water Supply Company, the Corry Armory, the Elks Lodge
and several homes. George R. Ottaway purchased the home in 1965 living in
it until he relocated to Phoenix, Arizona in 1988, to be with his children
Robert (Bob) Ottaway, Randall Ottaway, Roger Ottaway and Roween
Ottaway.
The
Ottaway family decided to painstakingly restore the 142-year-old house to its
original condition. With three years of hard work and extensive renovations, the house was transformed into a charming bed &
breakfast. The integrity of the home has been preserved for our family and
our guests. The Edwardian style home includes all three original mantle
pieces, a formal dining room, sitting room, formal living room, two pocket
doors, grand staircase in the foyer, hard wood floors and original baseboards /
moldings.
The
home includes three (3) guest rooms: the Hallmark, Headcorn and Heritage chambers. Both the Hallmark and Headcorn chambers have queen size beds
hand crafted out of white oak. The Heritage chamber has two twin beds made
of mahogany. The nightstands, desks and dressers are hand made from
white oak, which compliments the home's original type of wood. Each
chamber has its own private bathroom, cable TV and air-conditioning. Our
guests will wake up to enjoy a hearty breakfast prepared by our
host.
Ottaway Inn is located in the heart of
Northwestern Pennsylvania’s famous Route 6, which extends across the top of the
state bordering the New York state line. We have quick access to Erie, Jamestown, Peek - N - Peak and
Niagara Falls.
