During a ceremony May 12 to dedicate a new permanent Ohio historic marker honoring the work of businessman Horace Sudduth and the legacy of the Manse Hotel & Annex at the corner of Chapel and Monfort Streets in Walnut Hills, you could almost sense the presence of Nat King Cole in his room dressing for a performance at The Cotton Club in the West End, or James Brown returning from a recording session at King Records in Evanston, or respected Cincinnati physician Dr. Luther Lemon sitting in the coffee shop with owner Sudduth.
