Angus was a railway contractor who wanted to participate in the development of the Canada Railway in New Brunswick. Read more Eventually he decided to become an innkeeper. After some initial struggles and fires, he purchased the land upon which he built the Kennedy's, which opened on May 24, 1881. The hotel originally consisted of a dining room for seventy-five people, fifty-two guest rooms, and marble baths on each of the three guest floors. Originally the building was fifty feet wide and one hundred and four feet long, with two elegant verandas donning the front of the building offering a picturesque view of the downtown area and the Passamaquoddy Bay.

The hotel remained in the Kennedy family until 1946 when it was sold to Gerald O’Brian of Saint John, NB. As part of the contract of sale the name Kennedy was never to be used again. Thus the building was renamed the Commodore Inn. That story didn't last long as in 1947, the property changed hands again to John Taylor, also from Saint John, NB. In 1961 the hotel started a new era with a sale to Ian and Leni MacKay from Saint Andrews, during which the name was changed to the Shiretown Inn, a Best Western property. Through the years the Shiretown Inn went through many changes including refurbished guest rooms and an expansion being added to the back of the building. The Shiretown Inn operated with a gracious dining room and 26 guest rooms. In 1998 it was purchased in a sale Update description
