“P. E. & G. P. Tuttle, proprietors, Sycamore Street, between Third and Fourth.  This is a newly erected edifice, which has a west front on Hammond Street, as well as its principal front on Sycamore Street.   Each front is fifty feet, and its entire depth two hundred.  The lot on which it stands, contains ten thousand square feet.  It is five stories high, exclusive of the basement, and measures, from the side-walk to the top in front, seventy feet.   The building contains rooms, equal to one hundred and thirty of the size usual in hotels.  This house is located in the most populous and business portion of the city, a short distance from the Ohio river, at the centre of the public landing, and convenient to the railroad depots, Post-office and Canal, and within one square of Main Street.
        The roof of the building affords a pleasant promenade, as well as a fine view of the river and surrounding country”.
        Several of the Hotels – the Burnet, Woodruff, and Gibson Houses, among others – have bathing rooms for the use of the public, on a scale commensurate with their other apppointments.
