Bateman Hotel, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
The Bateman Hotel is a four-story brick building in Lowville, New York, distinguished by its late 19th century design with Italianate and Second Empire features such as tall arched windows and an ornamental cornice. Inside, a striking wooden spiral staircase rises across all four floors alongside preserved original details including wall moldings, plaster arches in hallways, and checkered marble flooring on the ground level.
The hotel was built in 1869, replacing an earlier structure lost to a major town fire, making it a symbol of the town's recovery and growth. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1994, recognizing its architectural and historical importance.
The building took its name from an earlier owner and served as a social hub where townspeople and visitors would gather. Painted signs on the brick walls still show the former name 'Kellogg House' underneath the current one, marking how the place has been known differently over time.
The building sits centrally on State Street in downtown, making it easy to locate and a good base for exploring local shops and the surrounding area. Its proximity to walking trails, bike paths, and seasonal activities like nearby skiing makes it practical for people interested in outdoor pursuits.
Behind the hotel stands an old livery barn built around 1874 with heavy timber framing that survives to this day. This barn reveals how the hotel once depended on horse-drawn carriages and horses, providing a glimpse into 19th-century transportation and building practices.
