In 2020, the Roseberry House located at 609 North Street, Susanville which was the town’s only bed and breakfast operation was closed. After nearly a five year hiatus, it is now open again.
.The stately Roseberry House constructed in 1903, had a history over a hundred years ago catering to tourists. The house was constructed forThomas and Viola Roseberry. When Lassen Peak came alive as a real live volcano in 1914, area residents flocked to the mountain to take a look first hand. For Thomas Roseberry it was a fatal mistake for in August 1915, while climbing down the peak he died from a heart attack. Another event occurred earlier in the month when the Emerson Hotel, located only two blocks from the Roseberry home was destroyed by fire.
These circumstances forced Viola into action. She made some remodeling changes to her home and began to take in travelers and boarders alike, which she would do so for another decade.
