Medina's first American Hotel was built in 1830 in the Federal style and was later replaced with a three-story brick building that had thirty sleeping rooms. During the 1870 fire on Medina Square, blankets and quilts were laid on the roof and kept wet with salt and water. The building was saved, but the furnishings were badly damaged when they were hurriedly moved from the building. The porch and second story verandah were added in 1875 and were a favorite gathering place for Medina's 'sidewalk superintendents.' | Date: 1872 | Source: Medina County Historical SocietyDownload Original File
