About Cedar Rose

DSC02271

The inn was built in 1903 by Noah P. Ward, one of Alexandria’s most successful businessmen in an exclusive residential area of Alexandria named the “Silk Stocking District.” Today, the home still retains its original exterior structure with oversized gables and diamond paned windows. The interior design includes a collection of antiques, original maple wood floors, oak woodwork and numerous stained glass windows. You will be greeted by an arched oak doorway, a vast open staircase and Tiffany chandelier, which are all reminiscent of the early part of the century.
