Odd Fellows refinance hotel Governor Cabell Huntington
The West Virginia Odd Fellows grand lodge refinanced its Huntington hotel Governor Cabell through First Huntington National Bank. The bank bought the $140,000 mortgage to secure the $250,000 purchase price, with the lodge paying about $1,280 monthly from the hotel's income of roughly $2,000 toward principal and interest. The state supreme court ruled the hotel taxable since its income supports charity but is leased to a commercial enterprise.
