It was connected by stairway to Old Maid\u2019s Kitchen rockshelter and by paths to the Big Falls of the Cuyahoga River. The hotel did not accommodate overnight guests, but was what we call a restaurant; it was famous for Mrs. Fosdick\u2019s chicken dinners. It contained a large dining hall and served a \u201cchoice variety of edibles suitable for such a refractory.\u201d It was a &#8220;first class orderly house\u201d meaning it did not serve liquors of any kind. A popular story relates that the Hotel would deliver chicken dinners to Old Maid\u2019s Kitchen to be enjoyed on picnic tables provided by the Fosdicks. It is not known exactly when the Hotel closed, but the building burned in 1913.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/cap\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/858\/2013\/02\/big_falls_hotel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/cap\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/858\/2013\/02\/big_falls_hotel-e1363977869392-1024x751.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lithograph of the Big Falls Hotel (Tackabury et al. 1874:47)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Big Falls Hotel was owned by Dave and Mary Fosdick and was located on the Cuyahoga Falls side of the gorge.
