Introduction
Read More
Gettysburg's premier award-winning Bed & Breakfast consists of two historic buildings once owned by a local banker and his widowed mother. The Brickhouse Inn is a 1898 three story Victorian mansion, with original wood floors, chestnut trim, family heirlooms and antiques, all in a style reminiscent of the turn of the century. The c. 1830 Welty House was occupied by Confederate sharpshooters during the Battle and has many bullet scars on its south wall.
The Brickhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast is located in the downtown historic area of Gettysburg. It is set in lovely gardens and has free off-street parking on site. You can choose from a wide selection of rooms, all with private bathrooms. Two of the rooms are suites, and four rooms have private balcony porches. The Inn is a perfect location for a dip into Civil War history, a romantic getaway, or a honeymoon.
Located in the heart of historic
Gettysburg, the Brickhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast (8 rooms) and the adjacent Welty House (6 rooms) offer the perfect base for walks to local shops and restaurants. We are only a few minutes from Lincoln Square in the town center, and the National Battlefield Park is virtually at our doorstep. The historic Welty House was built in c.1830 by Solomon Welty, and was in the thick of fighting during the Battle of Gettysburg - its walls still bear the scars of bullets.
The Owners, Tessa Bardo and Brian Duncan, and staff, look forward to welcoming you to this Gettysburg Bed and Breakfast. We want to help you enjoy your visit to the heart of history in Gettysburg Pennsylvania.
