A LONG HISTORY IN DOWNTOWN PICTON

Restored from years of neglect, the House of Falconer now lives as a guest residence — part historic home, part creative space, shaped by the people who pass through.

Stay with Us
A man with a beard and short hair, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, is standing in a window with his hands resting on the window sill, smiling at the camera. The building has red wooden siding.
Interior of an old house with wooden floors, a vintage piano, and patterned rugs. A person wearing black clothing and boots is walking through the room, which has white walls and door frames, and visible doorways leading to different rooms.

Alex begins with the structure — not imposing, but listening. He preserves what holds weight and reworks what doesn’t, treating the bones — their craft, material integrity, and embedded knowledge — as inherently valuable.

The result feels composed over time — grounded, materially honest, and fully alive.

A NOTE ABOUT THE RESTORATION

From the desk of Alex Fida

  • A house with a steeply pitched roof, white exterior walls with dark shutters, and a brick chimney, set against a partly cloudy sky with leafless trees surrounding it.
  • Front view of a historic house with Tudor-style architecture, white stucco walls, dark green trim, a green door, and multiple chimney stacks, set against a blue sky with leafless trees.

  • A room with white walls, crown molding, and large windows. There are shelves with pink plates, a table with dishes and kitchen items, and a ceiling medallion with an unused light fixture. The room appears to be a kitchen or dining area, with natural light coming in from the windows.
  • Construction worker working on the foundation of a house under renovation, with new brickwork and plywood panels visible on the exterior walls.
  • A house under construction with wooden framing, plywood panels, and brick foundation blocks, along with various construction tools and materials.
  • The image shows the side of a house that is under renovation. The exterior wood siding is partially removed, exposing vertical wooden studs. There is a black, damaged door leaning against the house, and some construction debris, including a white bucket, in the foreground. Green plants and dark soil are also visible at the bottom of the image.
  • A house under construction, with the exterior walls not yet finished, showing wooden framing and some parts covered with insulation. It is located on a street with an older neighboring house and trees in the background.
  • A two-story house under construction with black siding, a green roof, and a small set of stairs leading to a door. A white car and a black truck are parked in front, with construction materials and blue containers nearby. There are large trees and other buildings in the background.
  • Entryway with a white door and glass panels, black steps, and two ceramic cat figurines sitting on the steps.
  • White door with window panels, black steps, holiday decorations including Santa statues, a white tiger figure, and a colorful rug in front.
  • Before and after images of a house undergoing renovation. The top photo shows a weathered, dark-colored house with a snow-covered yard in winter.

THE PEOPLE OF THE HOUSE

  • Alex is the creative mind behind Angeline’s Inn and House of Falconer. Working in dialogue with the lived history of place through preservation and adaptive reuse, stewarding the evolution of historic spaces with a bold, instinctive approach to colour and a curated, playful mix of collected design — where reinvention is led with intention and a sense of play.

  • Adam Bolton is the steady hand behind Angeline’s Inn and House of Falconer — part General Manager, part Culinary Director, part wellness lead.

    A former musical theatre performer turned movement and meditation teacher, Adam has been teaching since 2007, blending classical yoga with a deep study of anatomy and biomechanics. That grounded, mechanics-first approach now shapes how he runs the Inns: thoughtful, intentional, and built on care.

    In the kitchen, his philosophy is simple — gather people, cook with the seasons, and let good food do what it does best. Made-from-scratch, farm-informed, and deeply satisfying.

    Calm presence. Sharp execution. Always rooted in connection.

  • Marc Pereira has spent over 15 years in hospitality, with a brief detour through the world of creative agencies. After a few years in client services, he found his way back to what he knows best: great places and the people who gather in them.

    Now based in Prince Edward County, Marc works with the team at Angeline’s Inn and House of Falconer, helping shape the guest experience and the stories around it.

    Part host, part project wrangler — happiest when a place feels just right.
