This brick building presently owned by Wayne Woodward was built after the Newfield Fire of 1875 by Jonathan "Dot" Stamp. It was operated as a hotel. Teddy Roosevelt gave a speech from the balcony to a large crowd on October 4, 1910. Pictures of that speech show the balcony extended across the building, but after a fire in 1926 the hotel was rebuilt with a smaller balcony.
On the same block as the hotel are two other buidlings that were erected after the 1875 fire: the old "Red and White Store," now an apartment house and the Grange building, now housing the Newfield Historical Society.
