OF YE OLDEN TIMES.
THE OLD COFFEE HOUSE.

Once the Glory OF Landgrove Hollow
Famed ms the Old Leland stand-In
the days OF the Old Stage Coach and
.Flip" at 3 cents a glass-A
Brief Historical
In Landgrove Hollow, in the town
of Landgrove, about five miles from
So. Londonderry, on what was former
ly the stage road leading from Troy,
N. Y, to Boston, stands all that re-
mains of the once famous old Coffee
House kept by the Lelands some sew
enty.fve or eighty years ago.
The history of this old landmark,
now fast going to decay, is particularly
Interesting from the fact that its early
associations were closely allied, in one
way and another, to the original lie
land family, the different members of
which are so renowned the world over
as hotel people. As near as can be as
certained from several of the Oldest res
idents in that vicinity, the frame to the
old Coffee House, at one time, was part
of an old hotel located somewhere on
top of the mountain in Peru. At this
time there were at least three hotels be-
tween the Hollow and the top of the
mountain, on the turnpike leading to-
Manchester, a distance of five or six
miles, one of which was kept by Alex
ander Leland. Two of these are still
standing, the Dickerson house and the
one next beyond, on the west. When
the old hotel was demolished the frame
was moved from there to the "Hollow,
and at the raising" while it was being
placed in position, "the whole broad
side," as expressed by Mr.. Asa Utley,
who was present then, 'fell upon Gen
eral Dudley and nearly killed him. .
The main building is seventy-five fee
long and faces nearly north, the roaG
in front of it running about east anc
west. The hall to the extreme righ
of the house was erected by Selaf
Warner sometime in the forties. Or
the ground floor of the old Coffee HOUSE
were the kitchen, dining and sitting
