The village of Bloody Run, later named Everett, was planned by Michael Barndollar in 1785. Barndollar also built the Union Hotel at this site in 1808, and it was known as one of the finest hotels in existence at that time. During the flood of 1936, the hotel suffered considerable damage when the water level reached halfway up the first floor. The building still stands on its original location. The Barndollar family also created a similar structure in Coffeyville, Kansas, called the Barndollar Store.
