Originally this hotel was a brick, square Greek Revival building, with a wide frieze all around, small frieze windows on the size, a double portico with four Doric columns across the front, and a small cupola.
Called the National Hotel. It was one of the public places in Cayuga County where African American men and women, many of them freedom seekers, worked on a daily basis, as an integral part of the life of the whole community.
Port Byron NY was one of Cayuga County’s abolitionist hotspots.

What a historic hotel. Thanks for showing.
I like this a lot! A pristine hotel with a lot of history! I like the way you call it an "abolitionist hotspot!" I wonder if John Brown stayed here... :)
Very simple and elegant.
The frieze windows on the side are a nice touch.
What a huge contrast to our hotels now the hotels befor. This building feels like a home. Happy weekend!
