Commercial Hotel Sold to Masquelier Brothers
McDonald PA
Aug. 16, 1946
From the
McDonald PA Record-Outlook newspaper, Aug. 16, 1946, page unknown:
Commercial Hotel Sold to Local Firm
The Commercial hotel property in East Lincoln avenue was sold Monday to
Masquelier Brothers for $11,600. The property was formerly owned by
Benjamin FRANKLE and was sold by virtue of an order of the Court of
Common Pleas by the Washington County Commissioners, giving title clear
of all taxes, mortgages and liens.
Outstanding taxes against the property total $5, 368.62. Of this, the
borough will receive $2,242.30, the school district, $2,069.47, and the
county, $1,049.85.
The property fronts 50 feet on Lincoln avenue, extends to Barr street
and includes the building now occupied by Louis GAMONDE as a barber
shop. In January the MASQUELIERs purchased the adjoining property on the
east from the Fred NOURIGAT estate of Midway. They plan to tear the
buildings down and erect a modern drive-in gasoline service station and
automobile showroom. Their present garage in Barr street will be used
for automobile repairing.
The Commercial hotel building was erected in the spring of 1898 by J. A.
BASTAIN, who operated under the name of Bastain hotel. It was one of the
most up-to-date hotels in this part of Western Pennsylvania. Mr. FRANKLE
purchased the property in 1909.
