Английская Википедия:Fountain Hotel
The Fountain Hotel is a historic former hotel in downtown St. Marys, Ohio, United States. Built in 1889 in a mixture of the Queen Anne and Victorian architectural styles, the hotel building sits in the 100 block of West Spring Street.[1]
Also known as the "Fort Barbee Hotel,"[1] the Fountain Hotel is a brick building that is built on a foundation of sandstone and covered with an asphalt roof.[2] On the first story, the facade is divided into multiple storefronts,[3] but the rest of the hotel has been converted into housing for low-income individuals aged fifty-five or older. Conversion to its present format was carried out by the Muskingum Development Corporation in the 1990s, at a cost of $2 million to $3 million; aid was provided by the Minster State Bank, which offered reduced interest rates to the redevelopers.[4]
Surrounding the Fountain Hotel are several other important community locations, such as the municipal building, the Buckeye Trail route along the Miami and Erie Canal, and a community park. Adjacent to the hotel is a small spring; once tapped to provide water for Fort St. Marys, which once occupied the location of the city's downtown, the spring was later converted into a fountain that became the hotel's namesake.[5]
In 1997, the Fountain Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Key to this designation was its place in local history and commerce, as it once played the role of a hotel, specialty store, and restaurant.[2] Two other properties in St. Marys are listed on the Register: the Dr. Issac Elmer Williams House and Office, built in 1903,[1] and the former Holy Rosary Catholic Church, which was destroyed one year before it was placed on the Register.[1][6]
