Historic Inns Apalachicola Historical Inn 145 Avenue E Built in the 1890s, this inn has long been known as the Floyd House. This structure combines the Queen Anne and Free Classic styles of architecture. It is constructed of cypress and is reflective of the style built during Apalachicola’s cypress boom days. First converted to a bed and breakfast in the late 1980s, it was named the Oleander House and later the Camellia Inn. In the 1990s, the building was used for business offices and is now again an inn. Coombs House Inn at 80 Sixth Street Coombs House Inn East on Fifth Street Built in 1905 by Maine native, James N. Coombs, it was considered the most elegant residence in Apalachicola. Mr. Coombs was a partner in several lumber companies before setting up his own firm. He turned down his party’s nomination for Governor in 1900 and was briefly promoted as candidate for the U.S. vice-presidency in 1908. The Inn East is known locally as the Marks House, built in 1903, it was completely renovated by world-renowned commercial interior designer Lynn Wilson Spohrer and her husband Bill. Lynn’s works have been featured in Architectural Digest and many other design publications. She has filled both inns with period antiques. 12
Historic Inns The Gibson Inn 57 Market Street Built in 1907, this downtown landmark was renovated in 1985, and led many new businessmen to make major renovations to neglected, but profitable older buildings. Formerly known as the Franklin Hotel, the Gibson was built by James Fulton “Jeff” Buck, a native of South Carolina. It was built as a hotel and was never a private residence. This is one of the few inns on the Federal Register of Historic Places that is still operating as a full service facility. Witherspoon Inn 92 Fifth Street This historic restoration was built in 1871 for the Witherspoon family of Apalachicola. Constructed of heart pine, it features a central vaulted entrance hall, which also serves as an art gallery. This property was purchased in 1997 by Ken and Sandra Kenniston. Sandra decorated the interior to create a contemporary retreat with casual elegance and comfort. There are neither TVs nor telephones. 13
