- Description:
- Elberton, after 1905. The Maxwell House, a hotel and boarding house, was located on the west side of the courthouse square. H.K. Gairdner owned this land and in 1905 he contracted with William E. Wallis, a local builder, to have the hotel constructed. Mr. Gairdner made arrangements with Mrs. J.H. Maxwell to manage the hotel. Signs advertise that baths are available on the basement level as well as the Harris Antiseptic Shaving Palace. Later when Mrs. Maxwell retired, the hotel became known as the Piedmont Hotel.
