Regarding The Kintner House Inn.
this page online
The first Kintner House was a boarding establishment operated by Peter and Hannah Kintner, catering to the needs of travelers to Corydon when the town served as the state capital. In 1836, a second and larger Kintner House was operated by the Kintners' son, Peter. This hotel served the needs of large crowds of travelers in town for the sessions of the Harrison Circuit Court. In 1841, the Kintner House was moved to a more desirable location facing the public square. This establishment served as the headquarters of General John Hunt Morgan after he captured Corydon in 1863. The hotel and the entire block in which it was located burned to the ground in 1871. In 1873, a new and more elegant Kintner House was erected at Capital and Chestnut. The building originally contained 35 rooms, of which 26 were guest rooms. The main floor contained an office, double parlor, dining room and kitchen. In the early 20th century the hotel was converted to apartments, and it left family ownership in 1922 upon the death of Sallie Kintner Jones.
