The hotel was constructed sometime around 1900, replacing an older wooden hotel, the Davies House, which burned May 5, 1899. The hall was a later addition. It does not appear on the 1903 map, but has been added by 1908. As can be seen from the map view, it was constructed entirely of wood.

Hotel was renamed the Main around 1950-60, and was torn down in 1982. Quite a good looking-building. The theater was still open in 1914, but had reverted to use as a hall by 1927.
