Honeyman, who also designed Rossland’s historic courthouse. Many notable local figures have lived here over time, and you can see echoes of Honeyman’s late-Victorian design sensibilities throughout the house with its original Douglas fir floors, stained glass windows and stunning coffered ceilings. Now freshened with a clean contemporary palette and all the modern comforts of home, the house blends past and present to create a warm, friendly, relaxed and awesome ambience. -----OUR OTHER LISTINGS------ - The Entire Black Bear Inn.
