The Cochran House was an inn/tavern located on the Diamond and built in the mid-1800’s. During the Civil War riders would arrive here by horseback from Enon Valley to spread the latest news. In 1880 Col. David M. Cubbison bought the hotel and had it extensively remodeled and renamed the Fountain Inn in c1891. (c1898) | 
Under the ownership of Col. Cubbison until his death in 1905, the hotel became well known by travelers and local residents for its elegance. It was a luxurious establishment that grew to include eighty rooms. The hotel was in business for many years until it was destroyed by a devastating fire on Christmas Eve 1968. (c1908) |
