Original date

The article, as found, simply stated 1706. I added one source for 1689 and a link to the application which says 1706 "despite the sign". I'm assuming this refers to a marker somewhere that gives the earlier date.

It seems that local papers prefer the earlier date. The cite I used was from the 2010 auction. This Inquy article (from the 2007 sale) also uses 1689, along with a brief bit of history that supports this earlier dating. I'm not sure where the Historic app got the 1706 or how it discounts the earlier date. I'm thinking the article should probably use the earlier date with the later date being relegated to a parenthetical remark (essentially the opposite of what I've just established). Thoughts? - SummerPhD (talk) 21:49, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Auction

I'm not thrilled with the inclusion of the 2010 auction. The Hotel has changed hands, IIRC, numerous times over the past few decades. While I feel some discussion of this (and the periodic floods) seems warranted, I don't know that we'll find reliable sources discussing this. With the numerous "This-time-for-sure!" attempts to make a go of it, I don't know that this one recent sale merits inclusion. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
