Standing in the center of the village for many years was the old brick hotel, known as the Caledonia Spring House.
In 1893, Myron D. Park, who served four years as a Wheelock selectman, sold the Caledonia Spring House to Marshall Way.
The hotel was the site of a notorious murder on May 20, 1896, when owner Marshall Way killed his 44-year-old wife, Ellen Sheldon Way, in the dooryard.
According to the St. Johnsbury Caledonian of May 22, 1896, " The little town of Wheelock was thrown into a state of wild excitement last Wednesday evening when the cry went around that Marshall Way had killed his wife.
It was a terrible shock to the people of the quiet town, and it may be many days before they recover sufficiently to converse to any length upon another subject.
