Hallowell Hotel

When the Doylestown-Willow Grove Turnpike was made a public highway north of Private Road in 1839, the village of Davis Grove lost its position as a strategic crossroads. At the same time, the settlement along the turnpike near Justinian K. Hallowell’s hotel became important. This area became known as the village of Hallowell.

Justinian Hallowell¹¹² and his brother George bought a farm on March 15, 1880 that would become the Hallowell Hotel. They ran both until George’s death in 1897, when his sister Lydia became a partner. At some point they added a store and a post office name Hallowell.

Hallowell Hotel is now the site of the Horsham Inn.

The Village of Davis Grove later disappeared under the Willow Grove Naval Air Station.
