303 South 6th Street Palmer House

The Palmer House is currently the Candle Light Manor Bed & Breakfast. The Candlelight Manor, with its superb river views, recaptures the antebellum charm of a more gracious time. The house's first occupant was the Palmer family.

Luke Palmer Senior in 1839 made his way to Burlington. He was a carpenter that turned his attentions to merchandising from 1839 to 1850. He established a business initially on Main street and later partnered with Hedge and Randy on a building at Jefferson and 3rd.

Luke Palmer and his whole family are buried at Aspen Grove.
