1890 Caroline House Historic Fredericksburg's newest, most luxurious Bed & Breakfast. Located in the heart of history - Adams had partnered with A. K. Phillips from 1855 to 1859.

The 1890 Caroline House fondly referred to by historians as, “The Shady Lady,” has as storied a past as the vibrant city in which it lives. This gorgeous Victorian was originally built by Robert Walker Adams, a Fredericksburg City Treasurer in 1891. Jane Steady, who owned the property where the Caroline House now stands, died just a few short months before the December 1862 battle that destroyed much of the downtown area including her home. He left Phillips to join Seth B. French forming Adams & French, the firm Ms. Steady had an imposing debt with.
