History

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.^[2][3]
