Description
Photograph of The Ingalls, ca. 1910. There are two street lights that align the streets in front of hotel, one on each side of building. There is a horse drawn carriage with driver seated atop of it and a couple people walking towards front of hotel. The Ingalls was located in the area we now know as Downtown Grand Forks Historical District.
The Ingalls. The second hotel in Grand Forks was built by Captain Hugh Maloney in 1878, and called the Mansard House. It stands on the corner of DeMers avenue and Fourth street and was rented to Colonel Ingalls in 1883, who changed the name to that of his own. Although he was in charge of the house but a few years, the name has been permitted to stand as it is. The property and its business has been in the possession of Mrs. Mary Maloney since the death of her husband some ten years ago. The Ingalls, now one of the historic land marks of Grand Forks, has been thoroughly refitted for the better accommodation of its patrons. It is a large three story building, having besides offices and other rooms forty-five well furnished sleeping apartments, and which with gas, bath, hot and cold water, and with its central location for business purposes, makes it a desirable place for a public house.
