Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 1935 - Fairgrounds Hotel - 17th & Liberty Streets Matchcover

A small wood frame structure was built at the northeast corner of the new Allentown Fairgrounds in 1889 next to the beer hall that served as the original fairgrounds hotel. After the successful semi centennial fair of 1901, a motion was made to build a new hotel and pavilion on the comer of 17th and Liberty streets.

The current hotel was built in 1903. Although it has been remodeled several times since, the "new' hotel is The Grille at the Fairgrounds restaurant and the pavilion is The Main Gate nightclub. Both are operated all-year-round today.
