The Candle Light Inn celebrates a long history in the Catonsville community. The original house, surrounded by rolling farmland and known as Five Oaks Estate, was built in the mid 1800’s. The house changed hands three times before the mid 1920’s when the Roger’s family began the pleasant tradition of offering afternoon tea and light fare in the parlors and on the gracious porch which once wrapped around the north and east side of the house. Ten or twelve cottages were built behind the house to accommodate people traveling between Baltimore and Washington and the Five Oaks Estate became the Candle Light Lodge.
