History and features

The Arlington Hotel was built in 1894. It was initially operated by J.G. Gutheil.[2]

During the 1890s, the hotel accommodated adventurers and explorers including J. Wallace Hoff of Delaware who later spoke highly of the hospitality and attractive waitresses.[3]

During the 1920s, businessman George Oellrich bought the hotel for use as a general store.[4]

The hotel is a four-story frame structure, five bays wide and three bays deep. The upper three stories are covered in clapboard and the first floor in modern wood siding and permastone. It features a second story porch that spans the south facade.[5]

Delaware Valley Arts Alliance

The building now serves as the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.[3] The DVAA offers two art galleries, a gift shop, performing arts and cultural programs, in addition to serving as the Arts Council for Sullivan County and providing grant funds for arts nonprofits and individual artists.[6]
