The Murphys Hotel

The Murphys Hotel, built of local limestone, was completed in 1856 by James Sperry and John Perry. Gutted in the fire of 1859, it was rebuilt shortly thereafter. It was sold to C.P. and Elizabeth Mitchler in 1882 and operated as the Mitchler Hotel until 1945. It has been occupied as a hotel since 1856 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
