What many popularly remember as the Hotel Sellen was once known as the Eagle Hotel. Abner Lakey built the structure on the corner of Holmes and East Main Streets in 1829. The building was initially intended as a cabinet shop. Later, Billy Doran opened up the building as a hotel in the 1850s. William Throop acquired the building in the 1860s, and it became Throop's Hotel. Afterwards, the building went through several name changes, including Eagle Hotel/Eagle Inn.
