Montego Bay Hotel. Located on Hart Hill, the hotel, overlooking the town and harbor, was reached by a long flight of steps, more than 100. There were about five acres overlooking Jarret Park.

• In April 1903, Harrison's Hotel (On the Hill) was reopened by Mrs. Hutchings.
• By January 1906 the hotel was using the name Montego Bay Hotel.
• In May 1916 the hotel was put up for rent or lease, as the proprietress desired to go to the United States.
• From September 1916 to December 1916 the hotel was listed for sale.
• In December 1917 the hotel was put up for public auction.
• In June 1918 the hotel was sold to Hon. C.W. Hewitt for £820.
• In January 1920, the closed hotel changed hands, and was now owned by Mr. Ansell Hart (Samuel Hart & Son Ltd.). Mrs. Ethel M. Hart started to run the hotel.
• In the Fall of 1921 the hotel was being called Ethelhart Hotel.
• In November 1922 the hotel only had 11 rooms, and the Harts wanted to add 20-30 rooms.
• It was closed for three years during World War II.
• In 1945 Ethel Hart sells the hotel to Mr. James A. Marzouca. The hotel becomes Mr. Marzouca's private residence. Mr. Marzouca was known as "Papa Jim" around town. He was always recognizable in downtown - he wore white from top to toe. White hat, suit, shirt, tie, socks and shoes.
• In May 1948 the property was purchased by Mr. John Asher Simpson, well known manufacturer of Glasgow. Purchase price was said to be over £50,000. Mr. Marzouca moved out. The hotel was considerably renovated and refurbished, the buildings were extended, and included a new bar. In December 1948 the property was reopened with 30 rooms.
• In early 1957, Mr. Peter Boyd Cowper, a generous patron of various local bars, got into an argument with the lady who was then running the hotel, Mrs. Bertha de Fonseca, and soon after he purchased the hotel from Mr. Marzouca for £70,000. [Where did Simpson go? Did he sell to Marzouca at some point?]
• Mr. Cowper made extensive improvements to the hotel building and to the property on the whole, spending several thousands of pounds. Reconstruction was completed in October 1957. See clipping for what was done. Mr. Cowper now spent a good deal of time patronizing his own bars. On June 14, 1958 he shot himself in the left chest, and died soon after.
• Mr. Marzouca bought the hotel a second time.
• The building was then unoccupied, and on October 1, 1958 it was let to the government and occupied by nurses for the local hospital. They remained until September 30, 1963. The intention was to then convert the Annexe building into residential flats for working girls and young men. Construction started shortly thereafter, and the rest of the hotel was unoccupied.
• The hotel was destroyed by fire on the night of 19th/20th May 1964. Damage was estimated at £50,000. The insurance company argued that based on the hotel not being occupied, they did not have to pay. There were years of litigation. A £40,000 judgment against the insurance company was set aside.

The hill was partially excavated to facilitate the building of City Center (which the Marzoucas own). There are now four apartments at the site. The steps and front yard buildings, as seen in the postcards, are visible in the satellite images.
