Property Description
Built in 1888, the Victoria was home to three prominent Anniston families before its preservation as a country inn and restaurant in 1985. The restoration for Alabama’s first Country Inn took approximately two years under the careful guidance of Jenkins and McWhorter. The main house maintained its original Queen Anne Victorian beauty from the hardware on the doors, the incised oak paneling and staircase to the double layer of stained glass which dominate the second floor landing. Outside you will notice the mixture of wave and square shingles (once painted red and mustard yellow) with Dutch and German siding on the lower portion and entrance. In the tiles of the first level fireplace mantles you will find numerous details of nature as well as the Sunbursts on both sides of the house outside. Because Anniston needed hotel rooms, the annex additions to the main house were created… twenty-six rooms in 1986 and eighteen in 1988. Architect Julian Jenkins integrated the new architecture with the old. “We wanted to capture the spirit of the original structure in the new work to achieve a continuity of architectural experiences. The transition spaces, both open and covered, were woven into an outdoor atrium canopied by large oaks to accommodate garden and terrace activities…In every case, we considered the dignity of the original structure.” In 1996 McWhorter completed the final phase of The Victoria with an addition of twelve guest rooms. The Victoria has sixty rooms and a fine-dining restaurant, which can seat up to one hundred people. It was the goal of McWhorter and Company, Inc. to do justice to the architectural plan by providing highly skilled craftsmen and artisans required for this specialized project. In January 2009 McWhorter donated The Victoria to Jacksonville State University Foundation. The Foundation has contracted with Jackson Hospitality Services to manage the hotel. Future plans include using the hotel and restaurant as a teaching facility for JSU students going into the hospitality field. The Victoria is open year round. A complimentary breakfast buffet is served to guests and dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 5:30 P.M.
