2003.001.014Description
Originally built in 1875 by Scott and Moore, the three story wooden structure occupied the full lot on the Northwest corner of Hogan Street. Guest rooms were located on the top two floors while the first floor housed offices, parlors, dining rooms and a large number of sleeping apartments.
In 1885, the hotel was enlarged and it increased its capacity to 200 more guests. The building eventually extended 210 feet on Hogan, 210 feet on Monroe, 315 feet on Duval and 52 feet on Julia with accommodations for 450 guests. This building was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1901.
The Windsor Hotel pictured was built by Dodge & Cullins in replacement of the one destroyed in the fire. The building was started in August of 1901 and completed February 15, 1902. The style of architecture was Spanish Renaissance. The Windsor was the only large hotel that was destroyed by the fire that was rebuilt. The rebuilt hotel covered the entire block and accomodated 500 guests.
The "second" Windsor was demolished during the early 1950s.Collection
