Chester, Massachusetts, USA
Riverside Inn, Chester, Mass.
Originally built as a two-story house in 1850, it was initially occupied by Chester Railway station master E.D. Cook, who was once accused and tried for selling intoxicating beverages at the train station. Smith-Lee said Cook was acquitted after one of his patrons testified that, although the beverages were indeed served, they did not intoxicate him.
The building was purchased in 1881 by William R. White, who added a third story and opened it as White’s Hotel. Documentation from a Chester train wreck in 1893 talks about wounded passengers being treated at the hotel.
In 1904, new management assumed control and renamed it the Riverside Inn, which had the longest tenure in its colorful history, including surviving the great flood of 1927... thereminder.com
