The Royal Palms Inn, once th~ mansion home of Albert Cohn, is now a busy restaurant and inn serving weary travelers as well as local residents. More than 40 years ago, the dining rOom was the liv:ing room of the i\:lbert Cohn' family. Their dream house, built around the exisitng eucalyptus trees, was completed hi 1a29 by a San Diego architect., , , The five"acre estate was completely walled and there were Danish· doors, imported tile for th~ bathrooms and granite slate from Vermont for the 40 by 26-foot living room floor. Originally, the front of the buildingfaceq the ocean, with a full sweep of lawn going down to the 400-foot ocean frontage. The living room overlooked the lawns, palm trees; walkways and gardens. '.. •. The property, presently owned by the Felt Family, is on le~se. . " r, , . , . The aging, but very grand Twin Inns, Carlsbad's oldest landmark, sits nestled among a thriving downtown area on one of the busiest corners -in the city. But even though.the huge shade trees that once surrounded the building, and the crowing clay rooster perched on the gable towers are gone, the Twin Inns still proudly commands its place in this small; but growing city. . .' . When the old Victorian structure was built for $9,000 in 1887 by Gerhard Schutte, it sat alone for many years overlooking the-railroad dePot. '. "" The mansion got its twin eight years later when an identical structure -the D.D. Wadsworth house -was built on the north end of the block. It was converted to an inn in 1895. The" Schutte home became an inn about 10 years later. . A number of owners passed through the Schutte home before Eddie and Neva Kentner bought both inns. They came up with the famous fried chicken,and Gorn fritters recipes that the Twin Inns is famous for. The north inn was razed in 1950 to make room for parking, but the Twin Inns today continues to be run by 'members of the Kentner family .. who still serve the delicious fried chicken that' makes it a favorite .~ating spot in Southern California. , -\ -- I -~ -------------I -------------------~~-~~-~~~~-------.. -~--. ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ----------~ ----\\ ----- ------------ ---------------------. ------------------~ ----. • -------------------------------'-.--- ? i • :l/.~)j~ .~~f~ ~ J!)~ ~.
