Notes: The Crystal and Annex Hotel was built circa 1905 in the downtown area of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, following the years of the 1889 flood that decimated the town. The Crystal Hotel originally was a 100-room hotel, but as business continued to increase, the Crystal Annex was built, increasing the hotel's room count to more than 60 rooms.

At that time, the hotel became "Johnstown's Leading Hotel" and provided some of the finest amenities to its patrons. The hotel also had its own call-bell elevator, telephone service, and provided some of the finest cuisine in its dining rooms. During the era that the compote was made, the hotel's proprietor was John F. Berlin, with A. C. Lampe as the head clerk.
