Nicolar Altmayer built the first iteration of the hotel in 1883 just one year after a devastating fire that destroyed several buildings on the block, including three hotels. This of course increased demand for lodging and Altmayer saw the opportunity to construct a new hotel. He doubled the size of the hotel two years later. Later in 1903, his brother Fred added a third story. A three story addition was built ion the east side in 1922 after August Maternoski bought the hotel in 1922. The addition increased the number of rooms to 34.
