- Posted on Facebook: November 2, 2021.
- Scope and Content
- Exterior view of Batt's Hotel, Port Stanley, ca. 1880, located on the west side of Main Street, just south of Bridge Street. The hotel was constructed in 1870 and destroyed by fire in 1890. The Loney House hotel (later the Clifton Hotel) was built on the site formerly occupied by Batt's Hotel. This image was published in the London Free Press, January 10, 1953, with caption "Captain John Batt, long a prominent citizen of Port Stanley and officer in the Port Stanley Naval Company during the Fenian Raids of 1866, was proprietor of a hotel in the port. The above photograph shows the Batt Hotel that was constructed in 1870, and served until it was destroyed by fire 20 years later. It stood on the site now occupied by the Clifton Hotel on Main Street. The Batt Hotel was assembled from a group of older frame structures joined together, with a false front giving the appearance of unity. Old timers of the port recall that the proprietor had an annual problem getting rid of heavy snowfalls that accumulated between the peaks of the building. He solved the difficulty by having a row of hinged boards on the side of the false front to permit men to shovel out the excess snow." Batt moved to London, Ontario, where he died on November 9, 1879 (Hugh Sims, "Sims' History of Elgin County", Volume II, p. 151). According to an article in the St. Thomas Times-Journal, August 1, 1952, Batt's Hotel was later operated by N.S. McColl. File includes:
