Description
Two reproduced magazine pages featuring a feature article titled “The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe… Carrying on the Family Tradition,” written by Melody Martin. The article describes The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe as a long-established country inn situated in the center of downtown Rancho Santa Fe, emphasizing its setting, hospitality philosophy, and multigenerational family ownership. The text outlines the Royce family’s management of the property, including Daniel Royce as owner and manager, Dorothy Stimpson in an administrative role, and extended family involvement in bakery operations, remodeling, and daily management. Historical context includes construction of the inn in 1923, expansion prior to its purchase by Stephen W. Royce in 1958, and its evolution into a larger hospitality property while maintaining its original design and atmosphere. One page includes a black-and-white photograph of the inn’s grounds and exterior, while the facing page contains unrelated travel and advertising content.
