HENRIETTA HOTEL PLANS FINISHED

[Welland Tribune,  8 February 1912]

             Mr. C.J. Laughlin has received the plans of the new Henrietta hotel from the St. Catharines architect and has them displayed in the Laughlin Realty Co’s window. The proposed building will be something after the style of the Chateau Laurier of Ottawa in it exterior design, having two towers on the front corners. Its interior arrangement is elegant. No town of this size in Canada will be able to boast of a finer hostelry when the new building is finished.

             The hotel will cost about $200,000 and will be modern in all its appointments. The contracts for the erection of the building will be let in a few weeks, possibly at an earlier date.

             The officers of the company are-President, Wellington Downing, Erie, Pa.; vice-president, C.J. Laughlin, jr., Welland; treasurer, G.C. Moore, Welland.

             The design above submitted was prepared by A.E. Nicholson, St. Catharines.
