The City Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire. Abraham Lincoln and son, Robert, stayed there on March 1, 1860. It was located on the northeast corner of Elm and Lowell.

While in Manchester a machine worker hesitated to shake Lincoln's hand, and Lincoln responded, "Young man, the hand of honest toil is never too grimy for Abraham Lincoln to grasp." (the story may be apocryphal)
