"The Exchange Hotel which adjoins the new Quick Building, is nearing its centennial mark. It housed the first meeting of the Odd Fellows, 1842, and served them with lodge rooms until 1847 or 1848. It was a strict temperance hotel for about 65 years and did a flourishing stage coach business in early days."
