The Cranford Hotel was built in 1893 by the Hess family. It\'s convenience to the railroad tracks made it a popular stop for businessmen. Replacing an earlier version of the Cranford Hotel, which is said to have been built in 1882 and had burned down, John and Martin Hess chose the location nearly adjacent to the train tracks to ensure it became a popular stop for businessmen returning home from a long day of work. The hotel still stands today (see two online photos). Source: mrlocalhistory dot org
