Stanton House
The Stanton House was a luxurious hotel which existed in the golden era of passenger trains in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States. It was built in 1871 and named after its founder, John C. Stanton, president of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad.The Stanton House was advertised as the "most elegant hotel in the south" at five-stories tall with 100 guest rooms. The hotel became a large attraction for wealthy railroad passengers and even hosted president Rutherford B. Hayes. The hotel boasted restaurants, a barber shop, observatory, billiard rooms and a large dining hall which could seat up to 200 guests. The Stanton House was demolished in 1906 for Chattanooga's new terminal station to be built.〔

== History ==
John C. Stanton came to Chattanooga in 1869 with funding from the Alabama government to expand railroads from the width of Alabama, reaching from Chattanooga, to Mississippi. He arrived in Chattanooga, which was still devastated from the war, with plans for reconstruction. Stanton, who soon set up his headquarters, promised economic prosperity in Chattanooga. The town welcomed Stanton in hopes that he could help boost the economy. The construction of railroads caused an economic boom and the town's economy improved substantially. Stanton soon built a new center of commerce which he named "Stanton Town" and it featured various shops, depots, employee housing and the Stanton House hotel. Stanton Town quickly became the most vibrant neighborhood in Chattanooga. The town was constructed on the south side of what is now Market Street. Stanton predicted the city would expand south, rather than focusing downtown on the riverfront. The Stanton House was one of his greatest successes as it became very popular place for wealthy railroad passengers to stay.
