Ephraim wells, grandson of sistersville founder charles wells, established the hotel wells in 1894 shortly after the discovery of oil in this area. Many hotels and boardinghouses were available for the roust abouts, oilmen and fortune seekers, who descended upon sistersville during the turn of the century oil boom. However, few facilities were available for the oil barons and genteel travelers and residents of the area. Wells built this hotel to serve this clientele. The foundation was laid in april of 1894 and the hotel opened its doors to the public on january 15, 1895.
