DESCRIPTION: Delavan House was one of Albany's premier hotels in the second half of the 19th century. Originally founded as a dry-hotel by Edward Delavan in 1845, his strong temperance views quickly led to the hotels decline. Somewhere around 1849-1850, he leased the building to a German immigrant by the name of Theophilus Roessle, who transformed it into a luxurious hotel that would attract wealthy clientele and host state political events for the next 40 years. Delavan House burned to the ground in December of 1894.
