Thelatter was quite a business throughfare and before the winter of1847-48 there were three hotels and a number of stores and shops infull operation upon it. The hotels were the National, on the eastside of the river, the Michigan House on the northwest corner of Mainand River Sts, west of the river, and the Benton House,Named forThomas Benton,US Senator, on the northwest corner of Main St andWashington Ave-now the Everett House. Four other hotels were alsoerected the same season- Viz. the Lansing House, built of logs, onthe corner opposite where it now stands; the Columbus House, on theground now occupied by the Hudson House; the Ohio House, a third rateaffair, near where the livery stable now stands, west of the LansingHouse; and the Seymour House, at the lower town. Business continuedand increased along Main St for about two years, when it began toremove to the center of town and concentrate in the vicinity of thenew State Capital, until in the course of time it entirely left it'sformer habitat,...
