Lafayette Hotel
Marietta, OH 45750

Durwood Hoag was only eighteen when he first started working at the hotel his father managed in 1918. As time passed, the two were able to buy enough stock to purchase and incorporate the property. After his father’s death, Durwood continued to operate the hotel until 1973.  His ghost, now, has been seen on the third floor. Chairs and other furniture have been moved.
