The REPUBLICAN HOUSE
G EORGE BL IR ucctcd the first private man ion tn the city
of Bcllevtllc. Thi mansion was a hotel. and \\'as called the Repub
lican Hou c. It \\as built in the ummcr of 1814.
In 1862 Ex- 10vcrnor John Reynolds wrote of this hotel in his
''Htstory of Bellevtllc." He savs Blair's mansion i to this day stand
ing erect. in defiance of time and want of patnt. on the south cast
corner of Illinois and outh econd streets. The walls of this vener
able house arc composed of large hewn logs. laid horizontal and
weather-boarded ovt:r. It tS t\\ o stories htgh. and had but two rooms
below when it was fir t butlt. so far ac; I recollect."
"I was always a guc t of ~lr. Blair' hotel. when there was no other
and I can testify that the landlord wa bles cd with a good nature
and a benevolent pirit: but 'mine ho tess' wa pretty much the
reverse of her hu band. as the truth of htstory will not permit me
to call him 'her lord and master'."
The "Republican House" was situated upon the present location of
the Junior High chool.
