1. The Eagle Hotel. Fort Le Boeuf Historical Society website entry:
The Eagle Hotel, also called the Stone Hotel, was constructed in 1826 in the general area of three forts and the American Blockhouse, with locally quarried stone. It along with the Judson Store across the street were two of the first commercial buildings in Waterford’s new commercial district on High Street as it began making its move from the banks of LeBoeuf Creek.

2. Eagle Hotel. Wikipedia entry
The Eagle Hotel is a 2 1⁄2-story, 'L'-shaped building constructed out of fieldstone from a nearby quarry. The main, front portion of the Eagle Hotel is 40 by 50 feet with five bays across and four bays deep, while the rear portion is 36 by 20 feet. The architecture of the Eagle Hotel exceeds that of a typical hotel of the period, with decorative stone features like "corbel ends" and quoining.
