Originally the Inn was divided into three units and contained a store, residence and meat market. After 1915, it was converted to a single residence. Your host, Eddie Taylor purchased the property in 1981 and restored it to its present condition. You will see that this home is an excellent example of Sonoran-style Architecture. The saguaro rib ceiling in the living room is one of the few remaining in Florence, though this was common in homes built at the turn of the century. The Inn is one of the best preserved and least altered buildings in town and is definitely worth a visit.
