Here are a couple more shots of the Willoughby Hotel from 1913.

Thank you again so much. I thought once the A. L. Bath building was demolished, its history would forever me closed to me, but thanks to all of you and the net, almost every question I had about that forlorn little building has been answered. I imagine the Willoughby was once a pleasant place for people from outlying areas to stay when they were in town for a show or fair at Hazard's Pavilion.
I think the photo I posted of the bookstore next door was from the 50s. The vertical sign said "Bar-B-Q" then. I miss little hole-in-the-wall shops like that.
