Ceremonies beginning the turing down of the historic Eldridge House, at Seventh and Massachusetts streets, before it was moved to "Billy" Hutton, owner of the hotel, took a chisel and began shipping out brick to remove the historic tablet of stone place in the north wall of the State Historical Society years ago.
A special committee and members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce including R. E.C. Rankin, presiding officer of the chamber, the corner stone has been removed Mr. Hutson and his assistants annihilated a dummy bearing the caption, "The Man Who Did Not Pay," by bricks from the top of the building.
The tearing down of the Elridge House marks the passing of one of the historic landmarks of the state. The present building was built in 1806 Free State Hotel, which was built by the Emigrant Aid Society of New England and was burned by Sheriff Jones, May 21, 1956. This building was replaced by a new structure that was burnt to the ground at the time of Quincy's trial, Aug. 24, 1863.
The citizens of Lawrence raised a free will offering of $500,00 to start the new hotel project. The structure will cost $150,000 and will be five stories high. Mont Green, of Manhattan and W. G. Hutson will erect the hotel. Mr. Hutson will be active manager of the new hotel.
The present Hotel was built by Colonel S. W. Elridge immediately after. The Eldridge has been the site of many legislative headquarters and is bound up in the early history of the state.
