1. Upland Terrace Marker
The Upland Terrace was built in 1877 by Rev. C. J. Fowler. It was one of Bethlehem's largest hotels with room for 200 guests. By this time, Bethlehem was known as a tourist town hosting several thousand summer vacationers. Karl Abbott, son of Frank Abbott, who purchased the hotel in 1887, used his boyhood memories of living at the hotel for his book, "Open for the Season", Bethlehem Municipal Judge J. Elmer Harrington owned the Upland Terrace for some years through the mid-1950's. From the 1960's forward, it was called the Terrace Motor Inn. In the 1970's through the late 1980's, it was owned by the Chase Golf and Tennis Camp. The building burned down in 1991.
