Description

Circa 1893. This beautifully detailed three-story Queen Anne Victorian boasts two turrets and a wide veranda. From the outside, it gives the appearance of a small castle. The inn was renovated in 1995, and it retains many of the architectural details of the original house, including the paneled front hall. Victorian decor is found throughout the inn, including period antiques. The Rose Suite offers a king four-poster bed, sitting room and bath with a clawfoot tub and separate shower. Guests are treated to gourmet breakfasts. Freshly baked muffins and entrees such as eggs Florentine, rosemary and goat cheese strata and stuffed French toast are served. A second-story porch overlooks the garden with dogwood, ponds and pecan trees.

Historic Interest	Charles W. Worth was a wholesale grocery merchant, as well as a commission merchant in cotton and naval stores at the turn of the 20th century- both areas of commerce that were the mainstays of the Wilmington economy before and shortly after the War Between the States. He diversified the family business after Reconstruction by acquiring the Cape Fear Machine Works. His father, David Gaston Worth, was the only son of North Carolina Governor Jonathan Worth of Asheboro. Among notable Worth ancestors, the family tree includes Daniel Webster and Benjamin Franklin. Charles W. Worth purchased the property at 412 South Third Street in 1889. He had an existing home on the property demolished and began construction of the Queen Anne-style home in 1889. It was completed in 1893, and the Worth family resided in the home until 1930.

	Banana-Pecan Upside Down Pancake This wonderful dish is baked in a cast iron skillet and flipped over and served in wedges. Simply divine!
	Rosemary-Goat Cheese Strata This hearty strata is flavorful with fresh Rosemary from the garden and creamy goat cheese.
	Cranberry Eggnog Muffins These light and tasty muffins are great for Fall and Winter.
	Blueberry Coffeecake with Streusel A winner any time of year. Use fresh blueberries in season, frozen when not in season. This will make 9 very large squares or you can cut them smaller.
	Artichoke Mushroom Quiche This is an easy but elegant recipe and serves 6 nice size portions. This recipe was recently featured in the Spring 2010 Wrightsville Beach Magazine when they paired mushroom dishes with wines!
