The New Hartford House of which Harry Donohue has been proprietor for 19 years is the only hotel between Hartford and Winsted, Route 17, Green Woods Turnpike. It occupies the principal corner in town, at the intersection of five streets.
All buses stop at the door.
The hotel accomodates 30 guests. It is lighted by electricity, has hot and cold water and Mr. Donohue takes special pains in looking after the comfort of his patrons. There is no dining room, guests being directed for their meals to the New Hartford Resturant nearby. The New Hartford House occupies an historic spot. It was in the basement of the old hotel, built in 1737 on the same site that Elias Howe invented the sewing machine in 1845.
