BIOGRAPHY
Pebble Beach Inn: Co-Owner
Operated Under a B & B Licence
496 Rosedale Avenue (100 Rosedale)
Other Names: Ten Gables & Marcom's Pointe
Roman and his first wife, Ms. R. McIntire of Mackinac Island and the Iroquois Hotel, bought a Victorian era cottage known as Marcom's Point. They purchased it from Dr. Robert K. Marshall, a Bay View Association Member, best selling author, and Petoskey summer resident for over 50 years. Dr. Marshall was also a long time professor at Ohio Wesleyan University, a private liberal arts college in Delaware, Ohio.
Prior to Mr. Marshall's 1950s marriage to Katherine Comstock, the cottage was jointly owned by his wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Comstock. Many years before, Mrs. Comstock had purchased it from Louis Seelbach, a well known hotel man in Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Seelbach then bought another cottage on Little Traverse Bay located in Wequetonsing, a private association near Harbor Springs, Michigan.
Shortly after purchasing the cottage, the Barnwells turned the 5500 sq. foot cottage into a Bed & Breakfas (B&B) and named it "Pebble Beach Inn." The Barnwell's sold it within a few years to a corporation in Grand Rapids. The new owners allowed the B&B license to lapse and took back its original 1800s cottage name, "Ten Gables". For sometime they rented it out for family reunions, but basically, at that time, it was once again simply a big summer cottage on the waters edge of Little Traverse Bay.
Roman Barnwell, was also considered the "Landscape Artist" for the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, and then later for the City of Petoskey. In later years, his son, Sam, also became known for his beautiful gardens (sometimes referred to as his "bicycle"gardens.) Yearly, they are admired at the Iroquois Hotel and throughout Mackinac Island. All of Sam's work has transpired, not with the help of a car or truck, but with a bicycle. He has been featured in several news articles.
Roman's actual paintings on canvas were often displayed on the glassed in porch of his home on State Street in downtown Petoskey.
