| Description: | |||||
| Originally built as the Pacific Hotel. Later had many other uses including being home to the Walworth Grange. While owned by the Grange, spaces were rented for commercial uses. The following from the Walworth Historical Society's Driving Tour (2007): "The Pacific Hotel built in 1850 by Theron G. Yeomans became a business center for many salesmen stopping to show their merchandise. A stage from the hotel met each train that stopped at the Walworth Station, three miles from the village.
Twice a year yard goods’ salesmen arrived with material and patterns. A sales display was set up in a parlor of the hotel.
A good home cooked dinner was 25 cents, breakfast and lunch were 15 cents and a night’s lodging could be had for 75 cents.
In 1930, the Walworth Grange bought the building. When it was sold to a private owner, the Grange donated some of the money to the Walworth Historical Society toward a new building.
At various times, the hotel has housed a meat market, a barber shop, a hair salon, the U. S. Post Office, a feed store, and presently a pool supply store.
There was a companion hotel built in Marion in approximately the same type of location, the southwest corner of the main intersection." The Walworth Historical Society did a series of articles on Main Street. This property is covered in Part 2. See link. During 2022 the building which was most recently owned and operated by American Pool Supply was sold and converted to apartments. Windows and doors have been replaced and the interior reconfigured to the new use.
