History: The Carriage House Inn, Circa 1857
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Carriage House Restaurant and Catering in Emmitsburg, Maryland offers you and your guests quality and gracious service in an elegant country atmosphere. Built circa 1857, the building became the Zimmerman and Maxwell Feed and Grain Warehouse in 1877. After the turn of the century, it served as a broom factory and later a bus depot. The building first became a restaurant named the White Hose in 1953. Three decades later it was purchased by the Hance family and the Carriage House Inn was born.
In 1998, Joann’s Ballroom was completed on the second floor of the restaurant accommodating receptions, parties and business meetings with seating up to 150 by rustic elegance. This year we celebrated over a quarter century of service and our sincere appreciation to our guests for their continued support.
