A nice little example of the 20s Grand Hotel. Twelve stories, the usual style, not too massive. Opened i n 1925, and had the standard history:
Beginning in 1977, James C. Bible tried to operate the hotel as residence suites for retirees, but he was perpetually at odds with city government over his inability or unwillingness to meet the fire codes. The city finally closed the hotel in January 1987. During the next decade the building was repeatedly vandalized, and intruders set two fires.
But it survived, and is open again for business.
