Originally built in 1904 by George Knapp and designed by Favrot and Livaudais, the hotel was a three-story brick and stucco building in Renaissance Revival style.

An extensive remodeling happened in 1928, with William T. Nolan supervision, which added a fourth Baroque styled story to the building, including an undulated roof and a corner obelisk.

The 1928 remodeling also added a three-story addition to the east side of the building.

[2][3] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1982.
