DOWNTOWN * VINTAGE VACATION HOUSE * 3 BEDROOMS * LICENSED SINCE 2007
Dream of going back in time? Take a trip down memory land when you come stay at School Street House, a genuine one-of-a-kind holiday experience that you just can’t find anywhere else. Happily situated downtown Charlottetown provides for handy day trips to all parts of Canada’s loveliest little province of Prince Edward Island. School Street House feels just like your favourite Aunt’s place!
Night at the Museum: School Street House is not only a guest house, it is a living museum filled with stories, historic photographs and artifacts. Some vintage treasures include a 1936 model Hammond BC organ with a Leslie 125 speaker, an 1880’s Thomas pump organ and a 1940’s record player. The furnishings and floorings date between 1900-1960 and antique china displays adorn period cabinets. School Street House is an old-time dwelling steeped in history and preserved since the turn of the last century.
Like a Message in a Bottle: Children's signatures discovered on an old plaster wall behind a hundred years of paint and wallpaper revealed that School Street House was the 1904 birthplace and childhood home of world renowned marine botanist, Dr. Constance Ida MacFarlane. Dr. MacFarlane is credited with putting PEI on the map as the “Irish Moss capital of the world.” Irish moss, a form of seaweed, is a major source of carrageenan, commonly used as a thickener and stabilizer in processed foods and products, including ice cream, beer, wine and toothpaste.
Strictly non-smoking, no pets property, no parties or events. Sorry, no exceptions possible. Minimum age to rent is 25. Provincial License number: 1200304.
Check-in time is after 4:00pm (to be arranged with housekeeper)
Check-out time is 10:00am.

Hi! I design and install sound, light and projection systems throughout Prince Edward Island. I'm also a boom mic operator and recordist for tv & film productions. My love of preservation and restoration projects has led to the operation of my historic guesthouse. Hope to see you here soon!
