Hotel Sedgwick Named After Civil War General in Bath
The Bath city council approves a 1935-37 budget and approves selling the old City Hall for 4000 dollars to Lionel D. Green of Boston to permit a new mercantile building costing at least 35000 dollars. Dr Brewster G Sedgwick, Bath optometrist, explains local homage to Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick with the naming of the Sedgwick hotel and Sedgwick circle, linking Bath to Civil War history via genealogical notes from Edward S. Sedgwick and Gen Thomas W. Hyde.
