The Burning of the Connolly House

Today’s episode is being released during fire prevention week, so we thought we’d talk about a building in the City that was lost to fire. The Connolly House was one of the first two hotels in Pikeville and burned down in 1914. Watch till the end to learn about the small role in the Hatfield-McCoy Feud that the Connolly House was rumored to have played in the events surrounding the hanging of Ellison “Cottontop” Mounts.
