. The two-storey stone building is the oldest building in Bells Corners and was constructed shortly after the Carleton County Fire of 1870 destroyed the earlier building on the site. David Hartin had acquired the former Malcomson's Tavern on 23 July 1870. The original building was destroyed by fire in August the same year. He subsequently rebuilt a larger stone structure on the site in 1871 and named it Hartin's Hotel. It still stands today as the home of the East India Company restaurant and conference centre. In November 2014 it was designated a heritage building by Ottawa City Council.
