Summary
Significance: This structure is a good example of a provincial hotel built in conjunction with the Union Canal, which operated from 1828 to 1884. Built ca. 1858, the hotel is composed along Italianate lines, yet it retains many traditional Pennsylvanian German planning elements, including a double-door entry system, two sets of double-decker porches on the sides of the rear projecting wing, and several sets of winding, Schnecke or snail stairways.
