Is still at the corner of Main and Church Street. It was a grand hotel with a bar and restaurant. President Eisenhower stayed here a number of times.
Back in the 50's the restaurant was a popular spot among the locals. Faintly recall eating there. Fascinated with the woodwork in the restaurant and lobby area. The rest rooms were elaborate with marble counter tops and turned wood mirrors.
Today the tavern is housing for HUD. When it was redeveloped the sheet rock all the beautiful wood trims and turned wood. I was told be on of the carpenters on the project, it would not take much to return it to her glory.
