It was designed by John W. Ross in Classical Revival style.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

[1] Its significance recognized in the listing was for its association with Rudolph Giselius (1872-1944), for its example of work by North Dakota architect John W. Ross (1848–1914), for it being the oldest hotel in Valley City, and for its role in the local business and social community through the years.

[3][4] [5] It has since been converted to senior-living apartments, named Rudolf Square.
