The New Sheridan Hotel

The three-story building on the left was the Sheridan Hotel built-in 1895 by Michael Sheridan. It was considered a skyscraper in its day. Constructed of iron, brick, and glass and topped with a distinctive “witches cap”. This Victorian-era structure was a common project in successful smaller towns across America and it was a point of pride for the residents of Cass City.

    find this matter to be really something that I feel I might never understand.
    It kind of feels too complex and very extensive for me.

    try to get the grasp of it!
