Supporting the Rising Sun Inn
from the Comfort of your Home!
Online fundraisers are an easy way to the support the ongoing preservation and restoration projects at the Rising Sun Inn without leaving your home. You know how much love and care Historic buildings need. We have several projects in the works and need your help to make them a reality. Our 2017-2018 sales will help fund the restoration of our Carriage House. The Carriage House Restoration Project includes foundation repairs, replacement of the cedar shake roof, exterior painting, and restoration of the interior.
The Carriage House was built after the turn of the century, the 20th century that is. It was built to compliment the design of the Inn with its white weatherboard siding, board and brace green shutters, and gambrel roof with cedar shake shingles. While not nearly as old as the Inn, this little Carriage House has its own very special history. For several years, from the mid-1960's through the mid-1970's, the Rising Sun Inn was home to renowned maritime artist Captain Lester Jay Stone and his wife, Peggy, and Carriage House served as his paint studio. Captain Stone was a prolific artist known for his watercolors, maritime art, landscapes, and portraits. His work can found in the permanent collections at the United States Capital, the Naval Academy, and the Department of Defense. Helps us as we restore our Carriage House, making it ready for its next hundred years!
