History
Businessman Alonzo Ward first built a hotel on the site in 1894.[2][3] In November 1926, this first structure was destroyed in a fire. Work began on a replacement building in 1927 with the new hotel opening in May 1928.[3]
The first radio station in Abredeen, KABR, began operations on the sixth floor in 1935.[2][4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1982.[5] The building is also listed on the National Register as a key contributing property of the Aberdeen Commercial Historic District;[6] the district was listed on May 23, 1988.[7]
In October 2017, a semi-truck struck an overhang on the hotel's north side, cracking one corner of it.[8][9]
Architecture
The hotel is a six-story building made of steel-reinforced concrete with a brick facade.[10]
