History and architectural features

[edit]

Built in 1906, this historic structure is a five-story, Tudor Revival building, with a two-story rear extension. It is built using brick and stucco with false Half Timbering and features a one-story, wraparound porch with a semi-circular dining projection and two projecting bay windows that extend from the second to fourth floors.[2]

Local entrepreneur Stephen W. Bajus purchased the property in the 1980s. After a complete refurbishment, the hotel offered all of the usual modern amenities, including a restaurant, a private room for dining and meetings and forty guest rooms plus two luxury suites and fourteen off-site luxury furnished apartments for longer-term stays.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
