J. H. CONNOR, proprietor of the Buffalo house,
is a native of Rouses Point, New York, and was born January 25, 1856. He
was educated at the schools of Franklin, Pennsylvania, from which place he
came to Oil City in the autumn of 1869. Here he has been regularly
identified with the hotel business. The Buffalo house was established
first in 1864. In 1865 it burned down and was at once rebuilt. Mr. Connor
and his partner purchased it from George Wooster in 1880, and Mr. Connor
is now and has been for several years sole proprietor. The Buffalo house
is one of the best arranged and well kept houses in the city. The sleeping
apartments are so appointed as to admit of an abundance of light, and
fresh, pure air, and the equipments in every department are ample and
complete. The building is two stories high, well designed, centrally
located, and extends from Center to Sycamore streets with a main entrance
at either end.
