AUDIT ROW #398 · A SINGLE CORNER'S HOUSES IN SEQUENCE · FIRSTS TESTED
No single Walkerton corner carries a documented chain of hotels in sequence at the strength this item wants, and no hotel technology first — first telephone in a house, first elevator, first private baths — stands in the record reached for any Walkerton hotel. The town's hotel stock was two houses in Chapman's count and never a corner dynasty; the technology firsts of the floor's instances belong to city hotels with advertising budgets and trade-press coverage, and Walkerton's houses advertised in the town paper, whose surviving hotel notices as reached carry rates and proprietors, not plant. Both limbs close as named gaps at that stated strength, settler the Independent's hotel advertising across the houses' whole runs — the same file the Florence House article below names, so one reading settles both.
Principal sources: Businesses (the two houses), pointed to; settler named — the Walkerton Independent's hotel advertising, full runs.
