"Among the bronze historical tablets erected by the citizens of Albany during the celebration in 1886 of the bicentenary of Albany, as a chartered city, there is one on the northwest corner of Beaver and Green streets, where Hugh Denniston kept Albany's only first-class hotel and tavern for many years. It was the first stone house erected in Albany. A true Irishman, Denniston was an ardent patriot during the war, and his hotel was a meeting place for the loyal citizens of Albany, where treason was hatched against England. On both of his visits to Albany in 1782 and in 1783, Washington was a guest at the hotel where he was presented with the freedom of the city. Denniston owned much property in Albany and was a citizen well liked by all. His descendants in the male line are not now known in Albany." -- Early Irish in Old Albany, N.Y., Franklin M Danaher (1903), pp. 30-31.
