Title	Victory Hotel Blueprints
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Architecture Hotels Blueprints Architectural drawings
Place	Put-in-Bay (Ohio) South Bass Island (Ohio) Ottawa County (Ohio)
Description	Four blueprints of the Hotel Victory, designed by F.O. Fallis & Co. of Toledo, show the architecture of the building, which measured 600 feet by long by 300 feet wide and included 625 guest rooms. The first image is a 43" x 16.5" (109.22 x 41.91 cm) print on linen showing the northwest side of the hotel. The next 26.38" x 10.43" (67 x 26.5 cm) blueprint shows the rear elevation. The final two blueprints, which measure 23.03" x 11.61" (58.5 x 29.5 cm) and 24.01" x 11.41" (61 x 29 cm) also depict the rear elevations and include detail of the roof line, ridging, and finials. The complete collection of blueprints is available at the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society. Put-in-Bay was a popular resort area from as early as the 1860s. Its Hotel Victory was touted as the largest summer hotel in the world. The hotel's checkered existence began when J.K. Tillotson organized the Put-in-Bay Hotel Company in 1888, and it was finally opened for occupancy in the summer of 1892. It went into receivership, and closed in August of 1893. Over the next several years the hotel changed hands several times, opening again in 1896, and operating off and on, until it burned in August of 1919. All of the guests escaped safely, but only the hotel's foundation was left after the fire, which was considered the worst in the island's history.
