The Cottage Hotel

The Cottage Hotel was owned by Ebon & Fannie Dill. It [the Hotel] was located on the corner of 5th and Magnolia Boulevard. You can see the sign 'Cottage Hotel' up on the roof here. Fannie was a real good cook. She had a deal going with the railroaders... the trains traveling north would give a certain whistle over on the south bank of the railroad. She would go out and kill a couple of chickens and pick them and dig a few spuds and have some dinner ready for the crew when they got their train across the River and parked and walked over to the hotel. Today [2003], we have nine nice hotel/motels in the community and this [the Cottage Hotel] is still used as a living quarters. Emery Aden This is #9 on the Wilsonville historic map
