Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Built in 1835, this Federal and Italianate-style building was the first purpose-built hotel in Abingdon, and was constructed for Thomas Findlay, replacing an earlier log structure that had been built as a tavern circa 1783, and was enlarged into a dwelling house, eventually becoming an Ordinary owned by Fincastle Sterrett, an emancipated former slave. The building features a painted brick exterior, a side-gable roof, bracketed eaves, twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows, stone lintels, a gabled front dormer, a two-story side ell with a shed roof and stepped parapet, first floor retail shopfronts with recessed doorways flanked by large plate glass windows, and a recessed main entrance with sidelights and covered steps behind an opening with a decorative trim surround. The building is a contributing structure in the Abingdon Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. |
