Battersby House

The Battersby House, conducted by Mr. George Battersby, forms part of the block on the corner of Robinson and Norfolk Streets. The whole block is the property of Mr. Battersby, but the hotel has only been open about a year. Mr. Battersby was formerly the lessee of the Norfolk House and during his occupancy, of ten years duration, built up a very extensive business. His present house is very beautifully furnished, provided with ample sample rooms, is managed in first class style, and is a favorite resort for commercial men, as well as the public in general.
