WILL HOTEL - 1909
built by Jacob WILL
South McDonald and East O'Hara Streets McDonald PA

This enlargement didn't show the people very well.

From the McDonald-Record-Outlook-1960s-1970s: Shown above is a picture of the old Will Hotel on South McDonald and East O'Hara streets, McDonald [Pa], probably on the occasion of its opening due to the presence of the bunting.*

Built by the late Jacob WILL, who is shown on the balcony with his wife, the building now houses the Sportsmen's Inn.

The picture was made available by the WILL's granddaughter, Mrs. Bertha HICKS, proprietor of the Hi-Gal Shop, McDonald [Pa].
