Rockledge Inn opened in the Spring of 1892 as a resort hotel. It featured sweeping verandas and views of the city, tennis and croquet courts, large stone fireplaces and a private coach that ran from the depot to the inn. Rockledge Inn would permanently close in 1929. In 1964, the renovated Rockledge Inn opened at the Mill Mountain Theater. The theater would use the structure until it burned in 1976.
