Rich in history, Kenilworth Inn has evolved through many meaningful chapters. Originally the Kenilworth Inn, the building served as U.S. Army General Hospital No. 12 before returning to hospitality and
later becoming Appalachian Hall and Charter Behavioral Health. Today, it has come full circle and is, once again, proudly known as Kenilworth Inn and a place residents proudly call home. Listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, this landmark community preserves its legacy while offering a warm, welcoming residential experience.
