Alaska's Capital Inn Bed and Breakfast

A beautiful queen size fumed oak Stickley spindle bed with corbels dominates this beautiful second floor room. Original maple floors are protected by a wool Karastan rug with a deep blue early William Morris design. The wallpapers are also of the Morris Company, in the Acorn pattern first printed and designed by J.H. Dearle in 1879. The reddish hue of the paper is almost identical to the imported French glass shades on the room's period light fixtures.

A romantic hideaway furnished with early Craftsman style fumed white oak furniture that has been quarter sawn to bring out the intricate and beautiful grain patterns of the wood. The massive four poster king size bed with its arched stretchers and pyramid topped posts resembles the early work of Gustav Stickley and Harvey Ellis. A Louis de Poortere Mossoul patterned wool rug accents the Brazilian cherry wood border that surrounds the original maple floor. William Morris design wallpapers in a marigold pattern with an iridescent gold acanthus leaf border compliment all of the room's oak furnishings as well as the green enamel open door gas stove. This large second floor corner room has the advantage of windows that look out over the adjacent garden park and the downtown area and harbor. The large tile floored bath with its wainscoted walls, console legged sink and double end claw foot soaking tub and shower, tastefully combine contemporary luxury with turn of the century elegance. $189.00

Romance, gold rush dreams and early 20th century charm, along with elegant furnishings provide an unforgettable experience in the original master bedroom. Redone with imported English wallpapers originally designed by May Morris and first printed in 1883, are in recognition of the Olds family heritage. The honeysuckle motif compliments the view out the spectacular bay window of the adjoining park and backdrop of Douglas Island and Gastineau Channel. Located on the second floor, this large bedroom encompasses the entire front half of the inn.
