As work continues on the new Delamar boutique hotel — a replacement for the Westport Inn, which began as the New Englander Motor Hotel — it’s a good time to remember another spot for weary travelers.
The Hawthorne Inn was located on the southeast corner of the Post Road and Compo Road South — the current site of the oddly punctuated and capitalized [solidcore].

It looks like a very interesting place. But I can find nothing about it — beyond its existence, on what became in the late 1950s Compo Acres Shopping Center.
