Washington Hall (hotel)
Washington Hall was a historic hotel in antebellum Atlanta, Georgia. Built in 1846, the building was one of the earliest hotels built in the city. The hotel, along with many other structures in the city, was destroyed in 1864 during the Battle of Atlanta. History Washington Hall was constructed by James Loyd in late 1846 at the intersection of Loyd Street (later Central Avenue) and the Georgia Railroad line in downtown Atlanta. Loyd had purchased the site in 1844. The building was one of the Atlanta's earliest hotels. The Atlanta Hotel was constructed earlier in 1846 and the Trout House followed in 1849.

Two years later, after their lease had expired and Rice had departed for the California gold fields, Loyd again managed the hotel for several years before selling the property.

Washington Hall (New York)
Washington Hall was a red brick hotel designed by John McComb Jr. and built from 1809 to 1812 on the site of the African Burial Ground. It was original owned by Dutch-American merchant John Gerard Coster, and had been a meeting place and headquarters for the Federalist Party. On September 20, 1824, it was the site of a banquet for the Marquis de Lafayette as part of his 1824-1825 tour of the United States. In 1835, it was the location of the first meeting of the Saint Nicholas Society, which was founded by Washington Irving.
