Notes
  • Significance: The Beersheba Springs Hotel was constructed in stages under a succession of owners. The present form is the result of extensive additions made by Col. John Armfield in 1855-1856. His contributions were the two-story, pillared main building, the "Brick Row," "Whiskey Row," "Post Office Row," and possibly the "Bachelor Row" which was destroyed by fire before 1900. "Cross Row" and "Family Row" were built by George R. Smartt when he bought the property in 1836. "Cozy Corner" is a double log cabin built either in 1834 or 1836. The combination of medicinal waters, invigorating air, fine cuisine and social life attracted wealthy gentry from southern plantations to this summer resort.
