OLD PARK HOTEL CLOSES ITS DOORS Once Popular Hostelry Passes Into History of City The old Park hotel is no more. Another landmark in the growth and development of the “Hardware Cen- ter of the World” has gone the way of many another oid place, to give way to progress. The hostelry, which is located in the building at 213- 219 Main street, was originally the loading hotel and eating glace in this city, and up to about 1890 was a regular commercial house. Sin then it was converted into a room- ing house, but still retained the pame of Park hotel. The original building is more than 100 years old, new additions having leen added as the city grew and as the business center expanded. When the hotel was still one of the lead- ing gathering places for society, it had seen many gala affairs and was the center of imposing social affairs. After its rosy days up to 1590 it became the property of R. W. Had- ley, who converted it into a room- ing house, and its location made it one of the most popular lodging places in the city, some of the ten- ants having lived there from 30 to 35 years. In recent years, however, since Mr. Hadley's death, the num ber of lodgers began to dwindle down and until a week or so ago there were 15 lodgers. The original number of rooms in the hotel was . a dining hall, dance hall and lounge rooms. The last tenant will letive tomorrow, and with his leav- ing, will close the last chapter of one of the oldest hostelries in this vi cinity, W. H. Cadwell, owner of the building stated today that the place will be converted into a commercial building and the entire upper floors will be remodelled and turned into offices, MAY MAKE CANDIES FROM COTTONSEED Same Source May Be Used in Producing Soda Pop Anniston, Ala.
