History
The home was built by Edmund Sinclair, a carpenter and contractor and his new bride in the late 1800s to show off his wonderful craftsmanship. When a fire destroyed the Jericho Hotel in 1913 a turret was added to the Inn and the couple opened for guests as the Sinclair House. It is believed through local history that special saws powered by a windmill created the extensive fretwork, a very intricate type of freise, windows, doors, woodwork, paneling, essentially all the woodwork.
The home has been described by the Chittenden County Historical Society as a "study of architectural styles, incorporating turrets and towers to suggest castles in Europe...stained glass punctuating the steeples, gables and porches. The porch pediment show not one, but three rising suns reaching for the sky."
The Queen Anne Victorian exhibits fretwork, crown moldings, paneling, hardwood floors, chair rails and wainscoting along with wallpaper, oriental rugs and antique furniture throughout.
Since that time the inn was used as a private home until its extensive renovation in 1989 when the previous owners reopened the dwelling to guests once again. In 1993 the current owners purchased the inn and did extensive redecorating and renovating to create the elegance and ambiance of the 1800s.
