Allison House Inn
We invite you to experience the charm of
The Allison House Inn, an English-style
bed and breakfast in North Florida which is
located in the heart of the Historic District
of the village of Quincy.


The Allison House Inn is, itself, a historic landmark in North Florida. Built in 1843, it remains among the oldest homes in the region. A decade after commanding the wars of Indian Removal (1830s), General A.K. Allison, who later became Governor of Florida, commissioned a house of classic style for his family.

Atop tall brick pilings rose a gracious, Georgian double-parlored structure. Its height, and spacious rooms and hallways suited perfectly the area's temperate climate. The property remained in the Allison family into the 1890s.

Renovation of the house in 1925 included the enclosure of the bottom floor and "modernization" of the exterior. Today, current owners Stuart and Eileen Johnson are creating a historic adaptation of the home's classic appearance. Its redefined facade bears elements of the structure's English country style origin, with careful attention paid to preserving the home's integrity and stately elegance.

Escape to the charm of an English-style bed and breakfast atmosphere just minutes away from fine dining, shopping in North Florida's best antiquing areas and the city bustle of Tallahassee.
