HENRY STAMM, proprietor of the Stamm House, is a native of Germany, though 
having resided in this country many years, where he has been successful in 
establishing an excellent business. His present excellent hotel is located on 
Water street, overlooking the river Ohio, and contains from fifty to sixty rooms 
in addition to fine dining, sample and reception rooms, office and other 
accessories essential to such an institution. Mr. Stamm is a competent and 
attentive host - receives excellent support, and certainly conducts one of the 
most popular two dollar per day houses in the state.
