Kilburnie (named in 1834 after
Kilbirnie Castle, Parish of Kilbirnie, Scotland) was built circa
1827 and is believed to be Lancaster's oldest surviving residence now transformed
into a welcoming and luxurious Bed and Breakfast Inn.
In 1998 Kilburnie was saved from
a scheduled demolition and moved to
historic Craig Farm where it underwent extensive restoration.
Kilburnie's rich history
and architectural significance
warranted the enormous and expensive undertaking.
The quality of the restoration is
best reflected in the intricate ceiling details of the Kilburnie's
public rooms , a stunning
accomplishment by nationally known local artist Jim Shore, who also painted portraits
of Andrew Jackson, George Washington, William Richardson Davie, and other pictures
gracing Kilburnie's walls.
The restoration of Kilburnie
allowed the owners to install new wiring, top of the line plumbing,
and all modern
amenities
expected by today's sophisticated travelers. Guests will find
Kilburnie immaculately clean, uncluttered and lovingly cared for.
Kilburnie's beauty is transformed
each season making it a popular place to visit anytime of the
year.
Kilburnie, now in its 9th year
of continued success. The owners are grateful to the support of
our many repeat guests and are proud of the positive "Word of Mouth"
spread by them. Thank you!
