Neil House Hotel (site)
41 South High Street
Columbus, OH 43215From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):
William Neil, the old stage proprietor, was the projector and owner of the Neil House, the leading hotel of Columbus. He was the possessor of large means, enhanced by holdings of large tracts of fertile land near Columbus, which he acquired at low figures in an early day. It is said his manners were not of the suave order, but he was noted for energy and shrewdness. One who knew him says of him, that “he was honest in his dealings, somewhat rough in his ways, but an energetic, pushing man, who made things move.” This description fits many of the old pike boys.

My Name is Steve Lauber and I have a letter written on the old Neil House Hotel's letterhead stationary. It is dated 1938 and was written by a sales agent that worked for the company I am retired from. If anyone is interested in acquiring this you can contact me at: slauber@woh.rr.com
Sincerely,
Steve Lauber
