The Crowner House in Watertown catered to the court house crowd - jurors, witnesses, lawyers. Its full page advertisement in the Times & Reformer Almanac for 1879 boasted of its new improvements, including water closets of the latest and most improved patterns on every floor, together with The Ladies Sitting Room, complete with running water. Rooms were $1.00 a day, and meals were 25 cents. One can't help but wonder what the plumbing was like before the improvements.
