The hotel was built by Louis Fauchere on the site of an earlier hotel and saloon he had purchased.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the hotel was a first-class hotel and restaurant that remained prominent long after other Milford hotels declined, and that it is a well-preserved example of Italianate architecture that recalls the town's Victorian-era appearance. It also notes the hotel's long family operation and its guests from New York and elsewhere.","narrative":"Milford, in Pike County, Pennsylvania, is the setting for this three-story frame hotel, built in 1880 by Louis Fauchere, a Swiss-born chef who had worked at Delmonico's in New York before settling in Milford in 1867. He first bought a small hotel and saloon on the site and then rebuilt it as a hotel of 24 sleeping rooms, with a glass-enclosed dining room at the rear. The building has a flat roof, heavy cornice brackets, two-over-two windows and one-story porches supported by turned pillars. A Queen Anne annex, built in 1905 as a house and bought in 1907, stands beside it on Broad Street. The hotel is regarded as the best known of Milford's late nineteenth and early twentieth century hotels, drawing wealthy visitors for both lodging and food. Family members ran it until it closed in 1977, and its furnishings and registers survive. The building is listed for its architecture and for its association with the town's resort history.","period_of_significance":"1880-1905","architect_builder":"Louis Fauchere (builder of hotel); Dr. E.
