The Partridge Inn, Augusta, Georgia

 The Partridge Inn is a hotel in Hilton's Curio Collection (independent hotels supported by Hilton).  Though it sits atop a hill, possibly the highest point in Augusta, the views are not spectacular.  The elevation does provide pleasant breezes and slightly cooler temperatures.  I did not enjoy an overnight stay, just a drink on the wonderful veranda followed by dinner.

In 1816 the building was the residence of George Walton, the governor of Georgia.  In 1836 the owner converted a portion of the house into a hotel.  Later the building was converted into a residence hotel for northerners who wintered in the south.  The property went into decline for a period then was restored and reopened as a hotel in 1910.  It has operated continuously since then.

The veranda was the perfect place for cocktails.

The view was just so-so.

These lights are fueled by gas just like in the old days.

     Of course, every old building has a ghost.  This video tells the story:
