The collection amounts to .25 cubic feet and is composed of one room book from the Kalamazoo House dated March 27, 1867 to September 28, 1867 along with a small menu from the hotel from approximately 1881-1884.

The room book measures 14”x9”x2”. The book is in fair condition. On its spine in gold letters are the words “Room Book” and “Kalamazoo House.” Information in this book is written in pencil and includes names, dates, room numbers, time arrived and any extras the person requested while staying at the hotel. There is wear on the corners and other areas of the ledger and the cover is dirty and curved. The paper inside is browned around the edges. The writing at times can be faint and may be a challenge to read. The menu measures 4”x3 ¼” and is in the shape of a fan. On the front is an illustration of two children looking at snails sitting on a brick wall. The background is silver and the figures and other items in the drawing are in red. The other side has a printed menu for Sunday lunch including drinks, fish, cold meats, relishes, bread and fruit. A note at the bottom states “Sunday Dinner, 5 c’clock.” At the base are the words, “Kalamazoo House, R.P. Emerson, Prop.” The fan is in good shape.There are no folds. There is a slight bit of wear on the menu side but the words are still legible.
