The Edgewater (Madison, Wisconsin)
The Edgewater in Madison, Wisconsin is a hotel which opened in 1948. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 as part of the Mansion Hill Historic District.

The Edgewater (Seattle, Washington)
The Edgewater (formerly the Edgewater Inn and, briefly when first constructed in 1962, the Camelot) is a four-story, 232-room hotel in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is located on the Central Waterfront on a pier over Elliott Bay (a bay of Puget Sound) and is the only over-water, and water-front hotel in the Seattle area.

Historic Grand Hotels On The Mississippi Gulf Coast
In 1870, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was constructed through the southernmost section of Harrison County, Mississippi, connecting New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama. A northern transportation route into south Mississippi was provided by the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad at the turn of the 20th century. These railroads provided an inexpensive means for moving passengers as well as goods, and opened south Mississippi to both industrial and recreational development.The Mississippi Coast and its People, a History for Students
