Hotels
In 1846, Webster Stanley opened the first hotel on Ferry Street. To meet the demands of the growing village, he erected a building on its site, which had more the appearance of the modern hotel. Next, M. Griffith appeared as a landlord - then Otis & Earl. From these samll beginnings have grown the harvest of hotels, which make the accommodations of Oshkosh, for travelers, first-class. The Fremont House, the new Revere House, just comp0leted and opened to the public, the Fowler House, the Seymour House, and dozens of other smaller establishments, supply the demands of such a stirring population as is ever surging through the city.
