'Turnback Tuesday' features Bassett House Hotel in Derby

Turnback Tuesday shows a photo of the Bassett House Hotel located at 100 Elizabeth St., Derby, after a fire gutted it in November, 1911. Originally the home of Sheldon Bassett until circa 1870, it opened a few years later. 
A restaurant was on the main floor for local residents and travelers alike to enjoy. 
After the fire, the Hotel Clark was built at this location in 1914.
