History
The original Smalley’s Inn was opened in 1852 by James Smalley. In 1924, the inn and much of Carmel burned to the ground. A new Smalley's Hotel was built. The hotel was located where the Palmer Agency, Smith Barney and the Smalley's Inn Restaurant are located now. The Putnam County National Bank was also located in Smalley's Hotel in 1896.
The old hotel was later divided and sold to private business owners. Millie Conigllio bought Smalley's Inn & Restaurant in the early 1950s. As a new resident to the area, she decided to keep the name. The business was later taken up by her son, Anthony F. Porto Sr., who remains as the current owner, along with his son, Anthony M. Porto Jr. Recently the Inn was renovated. A family restaurant currently lies to the left of the old fashioned bar.
