Hotel Fauchere and Annex, 19th-century hotel in Milford, Pennsylvania.
Hotel Fauchere and Annex is a three-story wood frame building in Italianate style with six bays across its front and a flat roof. The main structure was completed in 1880 and features 16 guest rooms outfitted with marble bathrooms.
The hotel grew out of the vision of Louis Fauchere, a Swiss chef who had worked in the kitchen of Delmonicos restaurant in New York. He opened the original establishment in 1852, but constructed the current building in 1880.
The place served as a gathering spot for wealthy travelers who came for refined dining and fine furnishings. Visitors today can see a collection of Hudson River School paintings that reflects the tastes of guests from that era.
The building sits in Milford near Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and Grey Towers National Historic Site. Guests can stay here and easily access other regional attractions from this location.
Over its history, the place hosted several American presidents as guests, including Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. These high-profile visitors show the importance this house once held for the nation's leaders.
