Donnelly hotel coming down The fate of Lucan's Western Hotel which has hung in the balance for so long has now been decided, To widen and pave William St. it was found necessary to remove this century-old build- ing, which was once operated by one of the Donnelly family, It was hoped that some organ- ization, as a centennial project, would remove the building and preserve this historic landmark, after an anonymous party sent $20 to the Free Press but the Village of Lucan, the Lucan Lions Club, The Middlesex and London Historical Society and the Strath- roy Kiwanis Club each turned down the project, as the two- storey building was too high to move and too expensive to dis- mantle and rebuild. With paving begun on the street something had to be done so the building was sold to Arnold Lewis of Clandeboye, who began wreck- ing it Tuesday. Mr. Lewis intends building a house in Clandeboye with part of the material. The remainder he hopes to sell.
