Description
The Harrington House offered rooms for overnight accommodation and had a restaurant that featured "blue plate dinners."
A 1920-era photo identifies the building as Silas Gibson’s residence. Presumably he built the two front additions when he went into the hospitality business.
The building still stood in 2013 with the exception of the glassed-in dining room area on the right and office area on the left.
