Remembering James N. Coombs

The esteemed legacy of the Coombs Inn & Suites dates back to 1905, when it was constructed by James N. Coombs, a former Civil War veteran who transitioned into a prosperous entrepreneur. Once renowned as “the most exquisite residence in Apalachicola,” the Coombs House featured opulent black cypress wall paneling, nine ornate fireplaces, and an intricately carved oak staircase, embodying a sense of affluence in the vibrant port town.
