property for $500, 900.
The old inn has been q hotel since
1856. Ford has been frequent
visitor. He especially admired the
Holy Lord" hinges on the massive
doors. He once remarked that 1t
might be true, as superstitious folks
here record, that they were put in
to ward off evil spirits, but that
mechanically they were just the sort
needed for the heavy doors. The
hinges are OF wrought iron. skill
fully made so each forms the letter
Fl and L, and from these they de-
rive their name.
It was at this inn that Washing

Much of the fittings and furniture
have remained the same.
Ford Is also said to be negotiating
for las acres of the William e.
