This brick building in McCormick has functioned as a hotel since it was built around 1882. Originally called the McCormick Temperance Hotel, it was designed to welcome passengers from the McCormick Railroad.

The business was purchased in 1905 by Mrs. J.M. Marsh, whose seven-year-old daughter, Fannie Kate, assisted with the chores necessary in running a hotel. After Mrs. Marsh’s death, Fannie Kate took over the hotel. According to the present owners, the bed and breakfast is located on top of the Dorn’s gold mine tunnels. The gold mines of McCormick were discovered in 1852.
Charming place. My husband and myself stayed there about 5 years ago and we stayed in the bedroom with twin beds. The owner did not stay there at night. During the night, we heard someone walking up and down the hall as well as doors opening and closing. We played it off and went back to sleep. Later that same night, something violently shook both twin beds and we both sat straight up in our beds. No explanation. Is there any history of this B&B being haunted?
