Among those who have been proprietors of the hotel at differing times are Almeron Hyde, Arnold Hill, J. H. Earle, Elmer Barrows and L. J. Vance. In 1877 W. D. Hulett became the owner and in 1892 made plans to increase the size. It was opened in July 1893 under the name of The New Wallingford. Special efforts were made to attract the summer visitor and the attractiveness of both hotel and surroundings is testified to, in the repeated visits that some make year after year. The water comes from a mountain spring and is piped to every floor. The house is heated hy a hot water system and in part lighted by electricity. There is connected with it a barber shop and billiard room. Since 1906 the house had been managed by Mr. Patrick Lane until his death in 1910, since which time Mrs. Lane and son have continued in charge. Hospitable in its management, convenient in its appointments, one is reminded of a certain quatrain, scratched upon the window of the White Swan at Henley-in-Arden, by William Shenstone. Whoeer has travelled lifes dull round, Where er his stages may have been, May sigh to think how oft he found The warmest welcome--at an Inn. Just outside of the Hotel there is a memorial fountain given by the children of Arnold Hill to the memory of their father. It represents a boy with one shoe off and one shoe on, holding at arms length the off shoe, through which trickles the spring water, good for man and beast. Substantial in its construction, not only neat but also novel in its appearance, it marks the intersection of two busy streets and proves a source of blessing. CHAPTER X. South . . .
