The landmark restoration was accomplished while meticulously maintaining the Laingdon’s 19th century character. The historic hotel lobby, walnut staircase, and hand-plastered corridors where gas lanterns once provided the only lighting were restored. As you walk the halls you will discover the original transom doors and wide oak wood flooring dating back to the 1800’s. On the exterior the original clapboard, wood trim and window scrollwork was re-stored and handsomely painted in period colors.

The historic seal fountain, adorned with evening lights, has been preserved and is now operational.
