History of the Fontenelle Hotel

Oh look, an archived article from a newspaper for which you do not need a paid subscription

Nice find!

I am doing research of Fontelnelle Hotel and Old Woodman of the Year (built in 1912). I need to know is there any picture of Pontenelle Hotel facing direction of North, South, West and East? Is there any blueprint so I can build lego Fontenelle Hotel

Welcome to the forum!

I'd suspect any photos might be in the archive at the Durham Museum. The blueprint I'd think might be in the city archive or perhaps the archive of the designer of the building. Do you know the name of the construction company who built it?

I also posted this as a reply to your same question in the photography area:

Here's a link to the Durham Museum collection of Fontenelle photos:

I didn't look through them all, so I don't know if they have a view of the north and west sides.

I looked for the drawings at this site, but could not find any for the Fontenelle. Lots of other drawings though. I'll have to look again for the name Eppley, since the hotel chain was owned by Mr. Eppley.
