Townsend for Michael Fisher, with a rear addition in 1898.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as the last remaining historic hotel in Zanesville, which once had 10 hotels, and as a modest, middle-class Italianate hotel of the late nineteenth century. It sat on Main Street, part of the National Road. It is also tied to master builder Thomas B. Townsend and to architect H. C. Lindsay, who drew plans for the 1898 addition.","narrative":"Located at 722 Main Street in Zanesville, Ohio, the Arlington Hotel is a 3- and 4-story brick building constructed in 1883 for Michael Fisher. Its face-brick facade has six bays of segmental-arched windows with stone lintels, rope moulding, and an Italianate cornice with scalloped brackets, dentils and sawtooth trim. The ground-floor storefront has been altered, but the upper stories remain largely original. In 1898 Fisher and his son Frank added a large rear section, planned by Zanesville architect H. C. Lindsay. The original building was erected by master builder Thomas B. Townsend, who built several of the city's larger hotels and public buildings, most now demolished. The hotel was listed because it is the last historic hotel left in Zanesville, a city that once had ten and lay on the National Road. It also represents small-scale, middle-class hotel architecture of the late nineteenth century. Members of the Fisher family operated it for much of its life.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"T. B.
