Stoddard House to Change Hands
The management of the Stoddard
House, the oldest hotel in Franklin
County, changes hands at once. the
furnishings equipment and goodwill
having been sold by Earl w. Milli-
ken, who has conducted the hotel for
the past II years, to Clinton Norton
and George Goings, both of Farm
ington, who will take possession at
once under the firm name of Norton
d Goings. Many Improvements will
be made, some modern equipment
installed and the entire building
thoroughly renovated and decorated.
This hotel was built in 1910 by the
late Samuel Stoddard, who served
as landlord there for many years.
Mr.. Milliken, the retiring pro-
prietor OF this famous hotel, is a ma
tive of Pennington, and was for
seven or eight years before he took
charge of the hotel, proprietor of a
fruit, confectionery and tobacco
store on Broadway, not far from the
hotel, thus having been in business
In Pennington for rs years. Mrs.
Milliken has always served as house
keeper very efficiently, until a year
or so ago, since when she has been in
poor health, which is the principal
reason for the family retiring from
the hotel business.
In the old stagecoach days the
Stoddard House figured most promi-
nently being the terminus of the
famous line between Augusta and
Pennington, and the starting point
for the equally famous line between
Pennington and Rageley, the stop
ping place over night for everybody
travelling north.
OF the old hotels the Stoddard
House is the only one remaining
and the only one surviving the great
fire of 1885. when the Hotel Marble,
the Lake House and the Exchange
hotel were destroyed. The Stoddard
House, though close to the fire zone.
when more than 100 buildings went
up in smoke, escaped only to be half
destroyed few weeks later, when it
was the only hotel in town. On the
site of the old Hotel Marble board
Wing house was built, known as the
Milliken House, and for some years
operated by the father and mother,
and later by the mother alone of the
retiring proprietor Of the Stoddard
House. The present Exchange Hotel
was built in 1887 on the site of the
old hotel bearing the same name. but
the Lake House was never rebuilt.
