Description
Photograph of Main Street and the Rosselyn hotel taken from Fifth Street, January 1907. At center a two-story Victorian house sports a sign that reads "The Beaumont Café and Restaurant" as well as simply "The Beaumont." Surrounding the perimeter of the house's lawn is a picket fence approximately three feet tall in front of which six pedestrians can be seen, one of whom is walking briskly. To the left of the house, its lower floors obscured by trees, what appears to be a Romanesque apartment building can be seen. Six floors are visible. To the right of the house, a storefront is partially visible with signs reading "New York [...]", "Real Estate", "New York [...] Merchant [...] Tailors", and "Suits [...]". The hotel was built for John H. Jones who lived there until October of 1900. It was later replaced by a silent movie house called the Clunes Theater in 1917.
