Eagle House was built ca. 1800 for merchant James Duncan, Jr. An article circa 1911 states the house was converted to a hotel by Col. William Brown, some years after the death of James Duncan, Jr., in 1822; other sources give the date as 1819. At this time 75 additional rooms were added. Rebuilt in 1852, designed by Albert C. Heath. See also lantern slide HF3 Senter GLS 3-2, prints HF3 Senter HPH 34-459C, 34-462A; latter print is inscribed "G. W. W. Bartlett" on verso. |
