History

Established in 1919.

The property now occupied by The White Inn, once the exclusive domain of Native Americans, came into the hands of Dr. Squire White early in the 19^th century. He was the first medical doctor to settle and practice in Chautauqua County. In 1811 he erected a wood frame house on this site. After a fire destroyed the home, Dr. White’s son, Devillo, built a more substantial structure in 1868. The University Room and several rooms on the second and third floor are part of the original 1868 structure. The wrought iron fence surrounding the property dates from this period. The property stayed with the White Family until 1918, when Miss Isabel White, the last remaining White family resident, sold the property to Murray Hill Bartley of Westfield, NY. Mr. Bartley expanded the property considerably, and in 1919, opened the hotel and restaurant to the traveling public.
