Elmira Heights, NY: Susan Howell Hamlin (Stated 1st Edition, 2015. Trade paperback, 208 pages. Clean and unmarked, with a square, tight binding. A bit of minor wear to edges and spine extremities.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Susan Howell Hamlin's WELCOME TO THE WITHERILL is about her family's hotel (family-owned since 1884) in Plattsburgh, NY. Her grandfather William H. Howell, Sr. took over management of the hotel when he was 19, after his father died, and made the Witherill into a landmark showplace of northern New York. As a longtime member of the New York State Hotel Association, her grandfather encouraged his close friend, Prof. Howard Meek, in the founding of the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University. Howell drew upon the many photos, letters, and newspaper clippings in her possession. A research trip to Plattsburgh's Clinton County Historical Association and SUNY Plattsburgh's Special Collections filled in the necessary blanks.
