History is at home at the Row

The Riverdale Inn is one of those preservation success stories that we all like to hear and wish we would hear more often. Once abandoned and home to squatters, this stately Victorian home was just one of many grand estates that lined Riverside Avenue. Sadly only two remain but this one is home to a fine bed and breakfast so you can see and apprciate what once was. You can also stop in for dinner at The Row or drinks at The Gum Bunch Bar. Check out their website to read more about the history of this wonderful place or read the recent T-U article to discover how the Riverdale Inn came to be.

Due to the amazing success of the Riverside Arts Market, The Row Restaurant is now serving lunch on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. a few blocks away. Regularly, the restaurant opens for dinner at 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Afternoon tea is available with a reservation from 1-3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For information on the bed and breakfast call 354-5080 or visit www.riverdaleinn.com.
