JANUARY 1822 THE WASHINGTON HOTEL

[franklin]

Just mentioning that none of these researched facts that have been stated over and over have ever provided even one tiny piece of legitimate evidence that can confirm the six events I listed, discussing the same information over and over is not going to produce any different revelations of actual proof.

Talking about stating over and over. How many times have you made the same statement at least 10000 times.

Probably about the same times you and Rebel-KGC complained about my posts.

I, R-KGC NEVER complained about YOUR posts; WHERE...?

 

[ECS]

YOUR opinion... trying to shut this forum down...?

Maybe not a complaint, but with remarks similar to this.
...and there have been many- "Let it go", "Close the book", "your abuse of believers", etc.
Just as others here, I post my conclusions based on my research, and when something seems a bit off, or speculation posted as fact, I question that information, as others have question mine.
All part of what's known as a pro/con discussion, that at times ruffles some feathers.

Robert Morriss' lease was for a period of 8 years from 1818 to 1826. He moved to the Franklin Hotel in 1826. So there would be no record of Robert Morriss leasing the Washington during the 1830's or 1840's.

The year can be off. I notice it says it was made of brick? I have an photo of it and it is a wooden structure. So I don't know about the accuracy of the reports.

when was the photo taken of the wood structure

He was "talking" about the Franklin Hotel of Harrison's; I also read that it was the FIRST hotel in L'burg made of bricks. Robert MORRIS did take over as you said, in 1826.

I was talking about the Washington Hotel not the Franklin Hotel.

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Washington Hotel was of bricks; Washington House/Inn was of wood, etc, like a private home - RM's. TJB wrote of being in RM's home/house.

Early Lynchburg history : survey report, 1937 Nov. 23
Date: 1789-1852
Location: Lynchburg, Va.
Historical significance: Includes a variety of "firsts" in the city's history

[franklin]

when was the photo taken of the wood structure

The photo was taken before 1857 because the Bell Tavern was in the photo also. The Bell Tavern was moved to Market Street in 1857. Dr. Daniel Langhorne lived where the Bell Tavern once stood on the 1877 Gray's Map. So the Washington Tavern, Washington Inn, Washington Hotel, Norvell Arlington House, Arlington House where all the same location.

Show photo...?

Show photo...?

You have seen it before. You just did not recognize it. The photo is in one of those books about early Lynchburg. The photo is in "Lynchburg and it's people" by Asbury Christian. Something like that. Look for Mason's Hall and Bell Tavern. The Washington Inn is right between with the large white pole for the "Washington" Sign.

THAT is Washington INN; Washington Hotel was at 107 Court Street, where the ARLINGTON is today...

No sir, the Washinton Hotel was at 712 Church Street where the Virginian Hotel is today. Did you not see the Washington Tavern and the Washington Hotel on Lot #23 in CW 0909's post. Here it is. At one time it was called the Norvell Arlington House.

... Lay off the 23 page pamphlet and look for something to verify the 6 steps you just mentioned.
If we do not discuss what we have found so others can compile their research on top of ours is the only way this mystery is ever going to be solved.
One way or the other.

How in discussing the location of the Washington Hotel prove anyone of the 6 steps listed on POST #16?
It is already known that the Washington Hotel as well as Robert Morris existed, what is NOT known is if a Thomas J Beale actually existed outside of those 23 pages of the Beale Papers.

Proving things that are KNOWN does not provide evidence of the Beale stay, but just a fallacy of pretzel logic.
Robert Morris was a real person
Robert Morris ran the Washington Hotel
Therefore, Beale stayed with Morris at the Washington Hotel.

Enjoy while we ignore.
