Front View of the Oregon Hotel
Description
The original Oregon Hotel was built in 1898 and named after the battleship made famous during the Spanish American War. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1912 and a more modern replacement was opened across the street from the original site in 1914. This image is of the 1914 building.
This angle faces NE with what is now Maxwell Avenue running to the right. The street running to the left is now a parking lane. Attached to the hotel on the far right is the National Loan & Exchange Bank on the corner of what is today Main and Maxwell.
The hotel closed in 1963 and the renovated structure, along with what was the National Loan & Exchange Bank, is now known as the Greenwood building.
