It was built in 1875 and is also known as Rohman's Inn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the hotel is significant under Criterion A for commerce because of its role in Upper Delaware tourism tied to the Erie Railroad. It is described as one of the few railroad-era tourism hotels still operating in the river valley, and it retains a high level of architectural integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1875 on a village street in Shohola, the Shohola Glen Hotel is a large, wood frame, two-and-one-half story building with a cross-gabled roof and a full-length porch along its front. It was built after a fire destroyed an earlier hotel on the site in 1873. Its prosperity rested on the Erie Railroad, whose one-dollar excursion tickets brought over 100,000 visitors a year from the New York area to the nearby Shohola Glen. The hotel remains one of the few railroad-era tourism hotels still operating in the Upper Delaware valley, and it is regarded as the largest and most intact of those that survive. Its basement saloon retains pressed metal ceilings and an elaborate 50-foot bar. Guest rooms on the second floor keep their early twentieth-century character. The hotel was listed for its importance to local commerce and tourism history.","period_of_significance":"1875-1945","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Gothic Revival, Greek Revival","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"In operation as a hotel and restaurant, with a saloon, bowling alley and dining rooms; the document describes the building as retaining its original function.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:38.065485-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/97000288.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000288/f98bb724cc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000288/f98bb724cc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Apc106","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shohola_Glen_Hotel_(4).JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Apc106</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shohola_Glen_Hotel_(4).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314355","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shohola_Glen_Hotel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7500130"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/pike-county/shohola-glen-hotel-97000288/"}
