Wylie Mansion

Believed to have been built in 1843, it stood on the northeast section of the circle for over 100 years until a fire destroyed a significant portion of the house on April 20, 1947, and it was demolished.

The mansion was built for Charles L. Coltman, a brick-maker and builder.

It became known as the Wylie Mansion, however, when judge Andrew Wylie occupied it while presiding over the trial surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

[1] The International Inn Hotel was built there in 1962 on a design by architect Morris Lapidus.

It still stands on the site following several renovations and alterations, as the Washington Plaza Hotel.
