My 1887 edition of Boyd's Harrisburg and Steelton Directory has the following listing: "WHITE HALL HOTEL, S. L. Crall, 217 Market" To help locate it, the address of the Dauphin Deposit Bank was 213 Market, so this building was two "doors" to the east on the same side of the street, or about one half block from the outdoor market stalls which were in the square at Second and Market. The hotel was apparently a Crall family business, as it was listed as managed by S(imon)L. Crall, and three other Cralls worked and lived there: Eugene A., Jacob C. and Oscar O. In 1894 there is a listing for the Commercial Hotel, run by Emilio Russ, at this address. Augustus Russ was bartender here. No Cralls are listed in the Harrisburg Directory in 1897, begging the question: where did they go? The Russ family, however, was definitely in the hotel business. In 1894 we find listings for the Hotel Columbus (229-233 Walnut) managed by Alexander Russ and owned by Narcissus Russ, the Grand Hotel (314 Market) run by Lewis Russ, and the Hotel Russ (423 Market) owned by Patrick Russ. By 1897 the Commerical Hotel has been renamed the Hotel Arnold, run by Martin L. Arnold. The last Directory I own, 1919, lists 217 Market as the Hotel Carlton, run by J. William Rodenhaver. George F.
