Hotel Move Begun by Commerce Body
A Lititz hotel project traces back to 1929 when the Chamber of Commerce backed a new town hotel. Members approved, funds were sought, and the Lititz Community Hotel Company formed with plans by Henry Y Shaub. Construction contracts followed in 1930 with multiple Lancaster and Harrisburg firms contributing facilities and materials.
