The trolley has just stopped at the Neffsville Hotel in this photograph taken about 1907. This hotel was built in 1812 by Leonard Fiddler and later owned and operated by my neighbor Sam Sherman. |
This is what the same corner looks like today. The old hotel is now a flower shop. It opened in 2003 on the square. |
Wow... Very amazing you remember Sam. I grew up in Neffsville and my Family would us there for dinners as a young kid, I'm only 51 now. He would greet my Family and give my Brother and I a Hershey Cocolate bar. I would like to know about the WWI memorial that was out front?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Frederick William Hunter's "Stiegel Glass" book, Baron Stiegel's legendary Manheim glasshouse was torn down in 1812 and the bricks used to build the Neffsville Hotel.
