The Borland Hotel was built in 1908 by John Wilbur Grimm, son of Hailman Grim and grandson of Levi Grim. It was on a 240 acre property straddling Wood and Pleasants Counties. The inn had 65 guest rooms and a dining room that could accommodate 90 guests. People came from all over to “take the cure” of the mineral springs. Grimm sold the hotel in 1932.
