Opened in 1903 with the largest hotel lobby in the nation. Built by Henry Lawrence on the site of the Bates Hotel, it boasted its own waterworks, electric light plant, telephone system, fire protection system, pumping station, ice making plant, mechanical refrigeration system, steam laundry, Turkish bath, swimming pool, and barber shop. After a fire in 1967, it was demolished in 1969. Claypool Court is now on the site.
