EAGLE HOTEL, Crawfordsville, Indiana – the undersigned having leased the spacious building in Crawfordsville, Indiana now known as the Eagle Hotel, it is in the “full tide of successful experiment as a House of Entertainment and ready at all times, for the reception of company – it is not my purpose to make long list of promises or to excite, unreasonable expectations, but this much I will say that no one shall “head” me in well meant efforts to render the guests of the House perfectly at home. In a rich agricultural region, like Montgomery County, it is not to be supposed that the table articles are scarce and therefore, nothing will be said on the subject. As a general remark, I will add, that every reasonable facility is at my disposal to render the House a desirable resting place, and I will endeavor to do my part of the work to make it entirely so to those who may give me a all. My Stabling, and its attendants, cannot fail to render satisfaction … John F. Hurley

EAGLE HOTEL – Crawfordsville – LE Wayland, Proprietor – fair the best the market affords. Stabling good and convenient, well calculated to accommodate horse drovers.
