The Hotel has been the centre of the area's social activity for over 100 years. Founded in 1860 as the Brown Hotel, the building is one of the architectural masterpieces designed by J. Morgan Brown, Wyalusing's illustrious "Gingerbread Man". Brown, an architect/contractor, had a special talent for creating gingerbread profusion of ornately cut wood. He created intricate decorative facades for a number of buildings in the area. The Hotel's Mississippi riverboat porches are a perfect example of Brown's handiwork. A great deal of yesteryear still remains at the Hotel. The original two-story barn, used as a "first-call" livery stable, and the ice house still stand at the rear of the building. At one time the brick portion of the hotel, built in 1882, was capped with a massive wooden facade with ornate gingerbread cutouts. The newer section of the Hotel, where our dining room is located, was originally the Brown homestead and was constructed in 1894. Please spend a minute or two in our lobby area where you will find many pictures of the Hotel from years gone by. We also have on display guest registers and rate sheets from the late 1800s and early 1900s. |
