3. Toledo, OH – Oliver House/Maumee Bay Brew PubThe Oliver House

 

When the Oliver House opened its doors in 1859, Toledo’s population was nearing ten thousand and it was in the midst of progress. Toledo was a railroad center and growing commercial metropolis. The city boasted a telegraph line, and had erected a bridge to span the Maumee River.

 

Renowned architect Isaiah Rogers designed a first class modern hotel for “one of the most delightful portions of the city”. The location; the section of downtown referred to as the Middlegrounds. The hotel; would have a main front overlooking a beautiful park with shade trees and private rooms that offered a view of the Maumee River.

 

The property changed hands several times and was gutted to accommodate industrial business. The only remnants of the grand hotel were two ornamental marble mantels, some wallpaper, and a black walnut and ash floor in the lobby area.

 

Today, the Oliver House stands as the only remaining hotel designed by Isaiah Rogers. Happily, it has been returned to the public once again as a place of social activity and entertainment. The Oliver House has withstood one hundred fifty years of wear and tear. This most important landmark has now been renovated to reflect its architectural as well as historical significance.
