room was the upstairs bath, kept comfortable by the fireplace, decoratively in place today. The name
refers to the room's original purpose (Basin) and owner (Street) and also to New Orleans' famed
promenade where the current innkeepers enjoyed their honeymoon. Stylish artwork depicting the
French Quarter lends sophisticated charm to this quaint room with a pencil-post queen bed. The

The Duck Inn Room
(Queen Bed/Private Bath with soaking tub & shower - $119.00)

The Duck Inn Room, was the room of Mary Ward whose family purchased the residence from
Samuel Street in 1900.  Mary Ward (1891-1979) lived in the home her entire life and during her later
years, she divided the house into several apartments, renting them out during World War II. In fact,
the current door to the room was once a closet and now guests over six foot may need to 'duck' their
heads to enter a room with an eleven foot ceiling! Tasteful appointments and refined decorative
treatments make this quaint, warm-hued room one of our most popular.  A smaller room, but
delightful in every way.  Private bath, of course, with a cast iron tub ideal for a long soak and a great
shower in a tiled enclosure.
