Melrose House

Melrose House. 117 Duke Street, Kingston.

In March 1907 the house had been completely restored and was ready to receive permanent boarders. Operated by Miss Phillips.
In 1909 the advertisements were for private board and lodging.
In 1920, due to the owner's ill health, the boarding house was offered for sale as a going concern. It had 13 bedrooms, two bathrooms on upper floors, eight servant rooms, and about two acres of land.
In 1928 it was first called the Melrose Hotel, and the name alternated between that and Melrose House Hotel.
In 1931 a miniature golf course was completed.
In the 1930s it was run by Carmen Lindo and owned by Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Frazer.
It was gone by 1982 and torn down. Apartments replaced it.
