The 1890 Clarendon Hotel, a 15,000 square foot Richardson Romanesque building across the street from the Belmont County Courthouse in downtown St. Clairsville, is an outstanding investment opportunity. Such is the assertion of a unique marketing project from this eastern Ohio community – which includes its own website.
The site, located at www.theclarendonhotel.com, includes a complete overview of not only the building itself, but also for the vision of city leaders to transform the city-owned structure into a boutique hotel and restaurant. A $600,000 Phase 1 environmental rehabilitation project has already been completed. Visitors to the site can access photographs of the Clarendon Hotel, links to documents detailing St. Clairsville’s downtown plan and general market studies, and market projections concerning the desired hotel use.
The result is an outstanding and enticing solicitation for investment in one of a dwindling number of Ohio small-town downtown hotel buildings.
