The Fountain Inn

Located on 4057 Main Street at the intersection of Shurs Lane and Main Street. The Fountain Inn was a hotel and saloon own by Henry B. Ritter.

It should be noted that the inn's stable was set on fire on November 13, 1870 by an arsonist. The business was recorded of being moved to two other locations before it was closed by Henry's son John after Henry's death in 1893.

In 1880, the business was located at 4354 Main Street and in 1890 it was located at the corner of Sunnyside and Cresson Streets.
