| Additional Information: | 1976: 150' S OF MAIN ST ON E SIDE OF FOUNTIAN ST 2021: This hotel was located on Fountain Street south of Main Street in the village of Montfort. It was historically called the Fountain Inn and was believed to be one of the oldest buildings in town. The building was inventoried in 1976 but was destroyed by fire in June 2011. Nothing of the building remains and the lot is vacant; therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP. |
