Centrally located in the heart of "Old Town" Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, the Boscawen Inn is
perched on a steep site overlooking the harbour to the south and the municipal park to the north.
This Victorian mansion was built in 1888 by Senator H.A.N. Kaulbach, one of the most influential
figures in Lunenburg's history, as a wedding present for his daughter Edna and son-in-law,
James R. Rudolf. The Mansion was designed by architect Henry Bush of Halifax and built in the
Queen Anne Style. It is formed from intercepting hipped gable wings. It asymmetrical form is
emphasized by a circular tower and projecting bay on the south facade and an oriel window on
the north east corner. It is Lunenburg's best example of the Queen Anne Revival Style
architecture.
James R. Rudolf was an active partner in the Lewis Anderson Company and was also a
shareholder in various business, including the S S Lunenburg which plied between Lunenburg
and Halifax in the 1880's. Unfortunately, James lost the mansion as a result of his gambling dept
and the mansion was taken over by the Bank of Montreal in 1905, a situation which prevailed until
1945 when it was acquired by Dana Sweeny, a successful antique dealer. It was about this time
the west wing was added and the mansion was turned into an Inn. Formerly known as
"Boscawen Manor", the Inn was later renamed "Boscawen Inn." The Boscawen Inn has
seventeen guest rooms, located on three levels. Additionally it offers conference and banquet
facilities.
In 1948, the Manor was acquired by Alister Campbell who successfully operated it for many years
adding a dinning room on the south side in 1962. In the early eighties, the property was
purchased by the talented Leslie Langille, who restored the building. Michael and Ann O'doud
became the next owners/innkeepers and operated the Inn for the next twelve years. Glen and
Terrie Gill acquired the Inn and added the McLachlan House, bringing the total guest rooms to
twenty-two. John and Janie Reed owned and operated the Inn until the end of 2006. Johnny and
Linda Power purchased the Inn and continue the traditions of the Boscawen Inn.
McLachlan House, located directly across Lincoln Street from the Boscawen Inn, was built in
1905 for John W. McLachlan, a Dry Goods Merchant and Registrar of Births and Deaths. It
features Lunenburg's only octagonal corner tower and is a designated heritage property. The
veranda and exterior staircase, which has a certain "ship's bridge" quality about it, was
reconstructed in 1993, based on old photographs. McLachlan House offers three guest rooms,
two of which are suites, in a Bed and Breakfast atmosphere.
The Boscawen Inn is located in Lunenburg along the Lighthouse Route of Southern Nova Scotia.
One of Nova Scotia's most historic and beautiful towns, Lunenburg's colourful waterfront, narrow
streets and captivating architecture radiate the flavor of the town's seafaring heritage. Although
there was a small French settlement in Lunenburg Bay in the 17th century, Lunenburg Town
began in 1753 when it was settled by German, Swiss and Mantbeliardian Protestants. Dozens of
historic buildings and homes dating back to 1760 have been beautifully maintained, the streets
still follow the original Town plan of 1754. The level of preservation led to Lunenburg's old town
being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
