The Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast, built in 1832 by one of New
England's most prominent families, is a stunning example of transitional/
late Federal / Greek Revival architecture. Located in historic Fairhaven,
Massachusetts, the Bed and Breakfast is situated on a quiet, residential
street in the heart of the village center, close to the town hall, library,
beach, parks, bicycle path, museums, maritime academy, shops, restaurants,
and working waterfront.
The 10-room, 3,800 square foot Bed and Breakfast, complete with conservatory
and green house, framed by stone walls and wrought iron gates, was once
the residence of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's mother, grandfather, and
great-grandfather. It was FDR's summer and holiday residence into his
adult years and was visited by him and Eleanor, even as president and
first lady.
The Delano Homestead Bed
and Breakfast's Facilities accomodate short-term guests, longer-term guests, and can be rented as a corporate residence and for special events. It has three rooms to choose from:
- The Warren Delano Room
- The Sara Delano Room
- The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Room
