From Ellis' The History of Fayette County, PA, 1882

Fayette Springs Hotel is next west of Braddock Run stand. It is a large two-story stone house, which was built under direction of Hon. Andrew Stewart for a fashionable summer resort, and not for a regular stand. Col. Cuthbert Wiggins built the hotel in 1822. It was kept by Col. Wiggins (who came from Uniontown), William McMillen, John McMullen, John Risler, John Rush, Earl Johnson, Brown Snyder, Samuel Lewis, Darlington Shaw, J. H. Wiggins (son of Col. Wiggins), Redding Bunting, C. W. Downard, and Capt. John Messmore, and is now occupied and kept by A. G. Messmore.

A short distance beyond Braddock's Grave, we come, on the right, to the stone tavern known in the busy days of the Pike as the Fayette Springs Hotel. This house was built in 1822 as a private residence by Hon. Andrew Stewart, long Congressman from the Uniontown district, and one of the most persistent advocates of the construction of the road at the time its constitutionality was debated in Congress. In 1824 it was made a tavern and continued as such until August, 1909, when the property was purchased by George F. Titlow, a prominent hotel man of Uniontown, and remodeled into a fine summer home. On the south side of the road opposite the house, may be seen the only original stone mile-stone from Cumberland to Wheeling, which bears the following inscription: "8 M. to Union.; 52 to Cumb."

Next we come to the "Fayette Springs Hotel," a large stone house built at an early day by the Hon. Andrew Stewart, who owned the property, and remained its owner until the day of his death. It was recently sold by his heirs to Capt. John Messmore, of Uniontown. This house was a favorite resort for visitors to the Fayette Springs, situate about three-quarters of a mile distant. In its halcyon days it had its ten-pin alley, billiard tables, swing, and other appliances of pleasure and comfort, but they have all passed away, and probably by reason of hard times, and the abatement of interest in the Springs may never again be brought into requisition. Here merry parties of young folks from Uniontown and elsewhere were accustomed to assemble and enjoy a hearty supper, engage in the dizzy mazes of the dance, and when it was all over "go home with the girls in the morning." Mahlon Fell and Tom Collins were the old-time fiddlers, and furnished the music, which in its line was of superior excellence. They were occasionally reinforced by Jacob B. Miller, esq., who tendered his services without pecuniary reward, and in the language of the day, "could make a fiddle talk." The "Fayette Springs House" has been kept in turn by Cuthbert Wiggins. John Risler, B. W. Earl, Samuel Lewis, William Snyder, William Darlington, John Rush, Major Swearingen, Redding Bunting, Cuthbert Downer, and perhaps others.
