The Kehoe House - A Boutique Inn

THE KEHOE HOUSE is an exquisitely restored 1892 Renaissance Revival mansion in Savannah’s Historic District. The Inn, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features 13 original guest rooms and upscale amenities. "Built in 1892 by William Kehoe, the Kehoe House is a lovingly restored Renaissance Revival Mansion that sits in the middle of Savannah's Historic District. Thanks to its age and its stint as a funeral home, the Kehoe House is now home to a few ghosts... and get this: you can spend the night with them. Now a four-star bed and breakfast, the Kehoe House is rumored to be haunted by William Kehoe's twin children. The phantom kids are often seen playing in the hall, only to disappear in an instant. Lights are seen flickering, the doorbell rings on its own, and the laughter of the ghostly twins can be heard in the middle of the night. Rooms 201 and 203 are considered the most active in the mansion, with reports that an unseen entity has a habit of sitting on the bed while you're in it. Good luck catching some sleep here." - Roadtrippers "Known as one of the most paranormal cities in the US, Savannah is a hot-spot for visitors seeking a haunted experience.  And while many historic structures in Savannah have a haunted reputation, perhaps one of the most well-known and most often photographed from a ghost-tour-in-progress is The Kehoe House. A Little History:   In 1892, this Queen Ann mansion was built on Columbia Square by William Kehoe.  Kehoe was an enterprising Irishman who made a fortune in iron and became one of Savannah's most prominent businessmen.  Kehoe spent $25,000 on the construction of this house --- including making the home a true showcase of his iron trade.  Much of the detail trim, such as the window casings and ornate columns, were made of iron.       So Why the Haunted Reputation? It was a funeral home:  The Kehoe House's was home to Goette Funeral Home. A Rumor about the Kehoe twins: The Kehoe family consisted of 10 children and rumor has it that two of them died in the house." - Kehoe House
