Passing of Old Hotel

The Girard hotel OF Brownsville.
the oldest hotel in the United States
west of the Allegheny mountains, and
which has been in continuous service
furnishing entertainment for man and
beast for over 100 years, was sold by
the sheriff Of Fayette county recent
~ to satisfy a mortgage.
While not the first hotel Quilt this
side of the Alleghenies, the Girard is
without doubt the oldest in point of
service. II was built i'm 1900. and Just
four years ago this summer celebrated
the centennial of its establishment.
In the more than q century hat has
passed since 1t was first erected the
hotel has been in constant service.
1t has changed hands frequently, but
has always been a favorite place for
travellers to stop.

The place takes its name from an

and 1t is further celebrated as being

IL lies on a small bay on the east
side Of the lake, and faces due north,
so that, while the villas OF Cernobbio
are bathed in sunlight, a deep green
shade envelops 1t.
The house stands on a narrow
ledge, its foundations projecting into
the lake. and it's back built against
the almost vertical wooded cliff,
which protects it from the southern
sun.

mountain torrent from the Val di Ca
