Chapman Cottage Inn History
 Chapman Cottage is named for Fannie Chapman, who built the home as a
summer cottage in 1899. She was born to Judge Henry Chapman and Nancy
Shunk of Doylestown Pennsylvania in 1846.
Fannie and her sisters, Mary Mercer and Elizabeth Lawrence, vacationed
here in York. Mercer Mansion is located next door to Chapman Cottage.
Fannie vacationed here six to eight weeks during the summer, after which
she would board a steamer and with her sisters and travel to Europe. She
would later travel back to Frosterly her home in Doylestown. Fannie
enjoyed the social life of Boston and Washington DC. She and Elizabeth
were frequently in the company of the best known writers, poets and
legislators of the time. Henry Adams used the two sisters as models for
the characters in Democracy.
From the moment you enter Doylestown today, you can see the history of
the Chapman and Mercer Families. From Fannie Chapman Community Center to
Fonthill, Henry Chapman Mercer’s castle, to the Moravian Tile Works that
Henry Chapman Mercer founded and is still in operation today, you can
relive their lives.
The fireplaces in Chapman Cottage are adorned with Mercer tile. The
rooms have been renovated in keeping with the sophistication and style
that were part of the everyday lives of the Chapman and Mercer families.
