LeRay Hotel, also known as Hoover Brick Hotel, is a historic hotel located at Evans Mills in Jefferson County, New York. It was completed in 1828 and is a two story, Federal style brick structure with a shingled gable roof. It was the alleged site of the card game in which presidential son John Van Buren supposedly lost his mistress, Elena America Vespucci, a descendant of Amerigo Vespucci, to George Parish II of Ogdensburg, New York.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
