The Washington House, once located on the SE corner of Buckeye and E. Liberty streets, was one of the finest hotels in its day: comfortable accommodations and the best meals. It stood from 1815 until 1879 when it was demolished to erect the [[Archer House]] building. It has a varied and exciting history: during the Civil War it was headquarters for Provost Marshal Drake, and recruits and substitutes were lodged there before going into camp. Under Eber B. Connelly's control it enjoyed a large and lucrative public patronage. <ref>Wooster Republican, Wooster, Ohio. 1879-04-17, p. 3.</ref>.
