[2] A group of Boone business leaders realized a need for a hotel to accommodate tourists, traveling salesmen, visiting court officials, and new faculty at Appalachian State Normal School.

Crossing the front porch, hotel guests entered into a spacious lobby with a grand staircase and two large fireplaces on both sides.

Employees attending Appalachian State roomed on the third floor, and the hotel manager had an apartment behind the front desk.

When the remaining proprietor Joe B. McCoy died, his heir sold the property to the Daniel Boone Condominium Company.
