Beard Hotel (Location Key)
Code:
033
Description:
The Beard Hotel is actually a boarding house, one of several in Jefferson that appear in the Yoknapatawpha fictions. In Flags in the Dust it is owned by W.C. Beard, though run by his unnamed wife. In Light in August there's no sign of Mr. Beard. Descriptions of other boarding houses in other texts make it clear that the residents of the town's boarding houses were all male - Byron Snopes lives at Beard's in Flags and Byron Bunch lives there in August - but in that latter novel Mrs. Beard allows the very pregnant Lena Grove to spend a few nights there.
