The Sinclair
"One of the largest Grand Hotels in Bethlehem was the Sinclair House. John H. Sinclair, who recognized the possibility of boarding business’s for summer visitors, built it in 1857 and ran it until he sold it in 1870...
Sinclair sold the hotel in 1870 to J.A. Durgin and D.W. Ranlet. Ranlet’s share changed hands more than once, leading to the partnership of Durgin & Fox, which lasted until 1888. Under their ownership, expansions continued, and guest capacity reached 300. Later owners were Daniel W. Harrington and William McAuliffe, who in 1908 formed the Sinclair Hotel Company and they also continued to expand the hotel. Thomas P. Conley owned the property in the 1920’s..." www.whitemountainhistory.org
