when was the bethlehem pa plaza built
During the Prohibition in 1922, Charles M. Schwab built the Historic Hotel Bethlehem as it's known it today. However, that little spot in the town of Bethlehem has a history with deep roots. In 1741, a group of Moravian missionaries built, on that very spot, the famous First House of Bethlehem. It was a log house, built to shelter the Moravians as they expanded their presence in the area. The structure also served as a stable.
