In 1825 Thomas King's "Yellow Tavern," located on First and Walnut Streets, burnt to the ground. He and his father, Robert King, were already in the process of building a newer and grander building. That project was accomplished the next year by his master stone mason, Ebanezer Evans, and a group of local carpenters. Robert King died before the Eagle Hotel was opened.

Since it first opened there has been a succession of owners:

1826-1842 -- Thomas King
1842-1853 -- Amos Judson
1853-1857 -- John Curtis
1857-1862 -- J. L. Cook
1862-1870 -- Robert Leslie
1870-1872 -- P. E. Judson
1872-1879 -- Guy C. Judson
1879-1899 -- P. E. Judson
1899-1944 -- Stanley Cracker
1944-1954 -- Edith Cracker
1954-1973 -- Carl Guyer
1973-1977 -- Robert Zelenak
1977-1977 -- Kathryn Zelenak
