The Gibson House opened in 1849 by J.K. and D.V. Bennett and financed by Scottish immigrant Peter Gibson. The hotel was torn down in 1873 and a larger one was built in its place. This menu is from the days of the second building. A fire destroyed this building in 1912. It was built again, and then sold to the Sheraton in 1950s and ultimately closed its doors and was demolished in the 1970s. (Inventory #: 45820)
