Van Alstine or Exchange hotel

Watertown Democrat, 07 22 1858

A sort of miscellaneous vagrant, B. B. Vandercook, at the Exchange Hotel of this city, sneaked away without paying his bill.

1889

Watertown Gazette, 01 04 1889

The Central House, corner of Main and 1^st street, formerly the Van Alstine Hotel, has been re-opened by B. F. Watson and is now ready for business. He has had the place fitted up in good shape, and he means to make it pleasant for all patrons. He is a first class man, and all who stop at his house will find that he will use them well. He should receive his share of trade, and our people should make an effort to see that he gets a good foothold here in business.
