JAMESTOWN – The New York State Historic Marker program has recognized two more locations in downtown.
Historic marker placed at the Hotel Jamestown
According to the Robert H. Jackson Center, the Jamestown Fenton Building at 2 East Second Street and the Hotel Jamestown both recently received historical markers to note the local law offices of Robert H. Jackson, who went on to become a prominent attorney, Supreme Court Justice and Nuremberg U.S. Chief Prosecutor.
During a recent visit to Jamestown, Jackson’s former law clerk, E. Barrett Prettyman, Jr. visited both locations and gave his official “Seal of Approval” on the placement of the historical markers.
“These markers recognize the achievements of a person who, from rather humble beginnings, invested of himself and reached a very high pinnacle, not just in this community, but nationally and internationally as well,” stated Mr. Prettyman, who also serves on the board of the Robert H. Jackson Center. “I am proud to have known and worked with him.”
