In 1847, James Polk was president. The U.S. Postal Service sold the first postage stamps. Thomas Edison was born. Narcissa Whitman died. And the Moorefield (now Mullin) Hotel in Moorefield, West Virginia (then Virginia) was built, funded by such stockholders as Robert E. Lee’s brother Charles and quickly earning the reputation as one of the finest hotels in all of the Virginias.

The Moorefield Hotel, located in downtown Moorefield, West Virginia, became famous under the operation of Captain C. B. Mullin in the 1860s and 1870s, attracting multiple visitors of note and distinction.
