“The brick hotel, now familiarly known as The Dick House, was built in 1874 by John Bowden. William Bowden was the property owner at the time. Bowden purchased the lot from Thomas Govenlock. Govenlock had a lumber yard here in 1866. He had purchased the lot from its first owner, Sam Hannah, who bought the property in 1863 and made pumps here for a few years before moving to Pennsylvania.

When Govenlock owned the property there was a frame hotel here. It appears in a stereograph taken from the railway tracks looking north (see the story about Houghton’s Hotel: [http://www.huroneast.com/index.php?sltb=heritage&loc=28]). John Crites was the first Inn Keeper listed in 1870. From 1871-73, John H. McCallum was the inn keeper of McCallum’s Hotel.”
