The Queen Hotel
1402 Miner Street

Michael B. Graeff built a two- story wooden structure at this site in 1880. It immediately became the town’s most popular hotel – the Hotel de Paris, partly because it was the closest to the Railroad Depot. The hotel was destroyed by fire that same year and was replaced by the “Queen”, built of brick, (which was also known as the SCHILLER, the Woodward and the Portland hotels).

It was renovated and dedicated as a senior citizens’ center in 1978. Additional remodeling and the construction of a senior center apartment complex at the location was completed and ready for Occupancy on November 1, 1986.

This building has an intricate pattern of brick work on the upper story, brick arched windows and decorated frieze.
