David Hartin (1824-1893) purchased the Malcomson Tavern on July 23, 1870. Later that year on August 17 the Great Fire of 1870 destroyed the building. Hartin had a larger stone building constructed on the site in 1871 and named it Hartin Hotel. The City of Ottawa designated this oldest building in Bells Corners a heritage building in 2014.

Hartin Hotel
The Hartin Hotel is located on the site of a former tavern destroyed by the fire of 1870, at the junction of Old Richmond Road and Robertson Road, midway between Ottawa and Richmond. It was used as a stopping place for farmers and their horses, and played a part in the development of Bell's Corners. The building features a side gable roof and dressed limestone construction with decorative stone quoins and voussoirs.

Hôtel Hartin
L'hôtel Hartin est situé sur le site d'une ancienne taverne qui a été détruite dans l'incendie de 1870, situé à la jonction du chemin Old Richmond et du chemin Robertson, entre Ottawa et Richmond. Il servait d'étape aux agriculteurs et à leurs chevaux, et il a joué un rôle dans l'essor de Bell's Corners. L'édifice arbore un toit à deux versants latéraux et un parement en calcaire façonné avec des chaines d'angle et des voussoirs décoratifs.
