Description
The
Hiram
Rapids
Hotel
and
Dance
Hall
,
shown
in this
5.5
"
x
3.5
"
(13.97
x
8.89
cm)
photograph
, was
built
around
1804
as a
stopping
place
for
farmers
driving
herds
of
cattle
and
flocks
of
turkeys
to the
stockyards
in
Warren
,
Ohio
.
During
the
early
1800s
,
Hiram
Rapids
(previously
known
as
Cuyahoga
Rapids)
and
Harrison
was a
booming
settlement
. The
rapids
of the
Cuyahoga
River
provided
power
for a
sawmill
, a
grist
mill
, a
woolen
mill
, and a
cider
mill
.
Other
businesses
,
such
as
linen
and
flax
factories
, and
blacksmiths
, were also
located
there. The
hotel
and
dance
hall
, also
known
as
Quimby
House
for its
first
owner
,
became
one
of the
elite
hotels
in the
area
.
It
was a
center
for
dancing
,
either
sponsored
by a "
dancing
club
" or
simply
organized
by
groups
of
couples
who
lined
up
local
musicians
and
held
a
dance
. The
house
is
built
in the
Greek
Revival
style
that was
typical
of
structures
in the
Connecticut
Western
Reserve
.
It
fell
into
disrepair
by the
1950s
and was
razed
about
that
time
.
