B&B
by Patti Guthrie
Doylestown, our county seat, has many wonderful historic buildings, but none that are more charming than the Hargrave House Bed & Breakfast. Originally a fieldstone house built in 1814, it was converted into a bed and breakfast in 2001. After adding a three-story brick addition with two spacious guest suites on each floor, the new owners opened the 1814 House Inn, which closed early in 2008.
On October 3, 2008, a Saturday, Lorna Woodson met with the owner, whom she knew for years. The owner asked her, “Have you ever run a B&B?” When Lorna said she hadn’t, he replied, “Well, we’ve got one to run to run now. You’re English. I know you can do it.” And Lorna then became the Innkeeper.
