History

The Queen Anne Inn was built in 1865 as a private residence for William Ritchie and Fanny Foster. In the Victorian style of the day, the Ritchie house featured everything on a grand scale: the ceilings were tall, the staircase large, the moldings heavy. William and Fanny had only one child, Norman, and they operated the home as a boarding house for many years. As time passed on, the house had several owners until it fell vacant in the late 19th century. In 1897 it became St. Andrew's School, the first private school in Nova
Scotia attended by boys from across Canada. The school operated for about a decade and then it was purchased and converted into the Queen Hotel and now as the Queen Anne Inn. The Queen Anne was fully restored in 1989 paying special attention to the fine craftsmanship of a period that has past. The woodwork throughout the house includes ash, oak, and mahogany. The house appears today almost exactly as it did in 1865.
