Remembering James N. Coombs

The esteemed legacy of the Coombs Inn & Suites dates back to 1905, when it was constructed by James N. Coombs, a former Civil War veteran who transitioned into a prosperous entrepreneur. Once renowned as “the most exquisite residence in Apalachicola,” the Coombs House featured opulent black cypress wall paneling, nine ornate fireplaces, and an intricately carved oak staircase, embodying a sense of affluence in the vibrant port town.

Enduring Resilience Across Generations

Even after a devastating fire in 1911, the legacy of the Coombs House persevered. In 1978, interior designer Lynn Wilson and her husband Bill Spohrer embraced the task of reviving this architectural gem, safeguarding its historical allure while integrating contemporary comforts for visitors.
