Dauphine Hotel

Dauphine Hotel is a two-story building in Bonnots Mill constructed with a mix of wood frame and brick materials. It features a wide front gallery and an adapted U-shaped floor plan that was common for inns of that period.

The building was originally constructed in 1840 and underwent expansion work in 1879. It gained recognition as a historic site when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The hotel shapes how visitors see Bonnots Mill and shows how travelers were hosted in the 1800s. The front gallery along the building still serves as a gathering space that connects the structure to the town around it.

The hotel is located in the small town of Bonnots Mill within a protected historic district. Visitors can view the building from outside and the area is easy to access from the main road.

The front spans six bays with a two-story gallery that demonstrates construction methods typical of the 1800s. This approach to building was noteworthy for the time and made the inn stand out in its design.
