Remnant of Stagecoach Days - Globe Hotel in Phelps, N.Y., in 1885
Geneva Advertiser
May 1, 1888
The old Globe Hotel in Phelps will probably be declared a nuisance, and ordered either repaired or torn down. It is unoccupied and from outward appearance unfit for occupancy.

That eye-sore in the village of Phelps, the old Globe Hotel, is likely soon to change hands, and will fall into those of S. K.Bowker, who will certainly tear it down or remodel it. Any change will improve it.

The venerable David Clark died at Halls Corners on Thursday, January 28th, aged 72 years. He died on the place where he was born, now the home of his married daughter. The funeral was held on Saturday, Rev. A. B. Temple officiating, and the internment was in the burial ground of the Union Church, where rest the bodies of two wives. His has been a changeable life; he has been well-to-do in past years, but unfortunate dealings nearly wiped out his possessions, one of which was the purchase of the Globe Hotel in Phelps several years ago.

Fred Stephenson received word a few days ago of the death of his uncle, Charles Wormley who died in Paola, Kansas, on Tuesday of last week. Mr. Wormley was formerly a well known resident of this place and left here in 1868. He was proprietor of the old Lawrence House for a number of years. His last visit here was in 1895. He leaves a wife and one daughter.

(Excerpt from article “Phelps Sixty Years Ago. Recollections of A. B. Thomas)
“Seventy-five feet west of the Jackson building stood the old ‘Globe ‘ hotel, which at that time was conducted by ‘Charlie’ Wormley. Its roomy porches made a popular ‘hang-out’ on hot summer evenings. Wormley later went west and ‘Ves’ Bowers succeeded to the management. With the new Phelps hotel as a too vigorous a competitor, they gave up the hostelry after two or three years of hard sledding and the property was taken over by a Stanley, N.Y. man on forclosure proceedings and thereafter rapidly descended the scale to the ’break-o-day’ type.
