Silverman occupation,jt: 20180214 RVA- Gerry Hamilton's Photos Like Comment Gerry Hamilton 12 hrs The National Hotel in Coudersport was a brownstone situated on the west side of South Main Street about halfway between Allegany Avenue and Oak Street. The Kit Kat was across the street at the corner of South Main and Oak. In 1951, the name was changed to the Luther Strong Hotel, with one advertising slogan “Meet me at the Luther Strong.” Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Daugherty were owners along with Mr. and Mrs. Merle C. Chittester. By April 1957 the name apparently had reverted to the National Hotel, which was facing a sheriff’s sale and sold by F.W. Daugherty. A fire severely damaged the hotel in April 1967. The hotel was torn down before late 1968, when taxes for the property were abated by 50 percent. The Hotel National and the Hotel McGonnell were not the same, although both were once owned by James McGonnell. I remember where the Hotel National was. There was a teen center in the same block in the early 1960s. The source of other information is The Potter Enterprise with clippings obtained from newspapers.com. Like 1John Christy Wetzel Comments Tina Johnson Daughenbaugh Tina Johnson DaughenbaughGroup Admin Thank you Gerry Hamilton, much appreciated !!! 12h · Like · Reply _______________ Post to which Gerry was responding- Tina Johnson Daughenbaugh Admin · 15 hrs So, I found an article about "The Luther Strong Hotel" in the Potter Enterprise, 1951. It says that the Hotel was located on South Main Street. And owned by Frank W. Daugherty I'm assuming Coudersport but it does not say that. It says that the hotel was named after Luther Strong of Coudersport. He was my 4th Great Grandfather. I'm wondering if anyone know where it was located? It all so mentioned that Daugherty owned the Kit Kat Restaurant at one time. Could they have been the same place? Like Comment 5You, Patricia Neilly Vella and 3 others Comments Tina Johnson Daughenbaugh Tina Johnson DaughenbaughGroup Admin So I did some more digging and found out that it was the National Hotel before being renamed The Luther Strong Hotel. 1Like · Reply · 15h Tom McGonnell My great grandfather owned a hotel in the late 1890s, the McGonnell Hotel.
