When we bought this house, we were attracted to it\u2019s style, character, and structure.  Little did we know that it was rich with history.  Shortly after moving in, we discovered the original blueprints down in the basement.  At the bottom of these documents was a little phrase \u201cprepared for Rose Littleton\u201d, written in pen and signed by the architect.  Of course we were curious, so we did a little research and soon discovered that our house was built and owned by a historic and inspirational woman.<\/span>

Ever independent, single mother Rose Littleton, struck out on her own from Indiana, settling in Port Angeles with her seven year-old son in the late 19th century.\u00a0 Buying food on credit from a local general store, she started her own restaurant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

She eventually went on to establish both Marymere Inn (1906) and The Rosemary Inn (1914) with her life-long assistant, Mary, and was visited by President Franklin D. Roosevelt . This resort is now NatureBridge, a part of Olympic National Park’s Crescent Lake.<\/p>

The Littleton House is her retirement home, built in 1937, when she was ready to move to the city. Rose lived in the home until 1945 when she passed away\u00a0 The original blueprints accompany the house. She is buried at Mount Angeles Cemetery.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
