Named in the 1878 county history

The history of Ashtabula County was published 24 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The formal opening of the Pennsylvania branch to the south was on May 26, 1874, when a party of officials from Pittsburgh and other points along the line assembled at Ashtabula with the local officials. All went to the Harbor and boarded the schooner Snowdrop, on which they took a lake ride, after which they returned to the city and enjoyed a banquet, which was served in the Opera House. In the evening the celebration closed with a grand ball in Haskell's Hall.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Jefferson, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
