Newspaper Article, Beaumont Hotel--City Hotel RenovationDescription
Two small newspaper clippings, one from July 7, 1960: 40 Years Ago--1920--The Beaumont Hotel was closed last week by its proprietor, A. G. Dehne, and the building will be put to other uses. O. J. Walters bought the east end of the building recently and will remodel his part of the second story into a flat. The present hotel parlor has been rented for a millinery store. Joe Kallas will move his dry cleaning establishment to another part of the building. The American Pool hall will use part of the building. The second clipping: How Architect visualizes new arcade building. The recreation arcade which the Waupun Investment company plans to build, shown from the architect's sketch above, would extend for 106 feet along Main Street, replacing the present buildings occupied by Walters and Haase, Sherwood's barber shop, Fred Pixley, Darling and Saxton and the one recently vacated by Mielke & Schulz. Plans call for four store buildings facing Main street with a barber shop opening off of the lobby, 15 one, two and three room apartments on the second floor, and a recreation center with bowling alleys in the basement. Submitted by Lena D. Luck (who wanted them returned!). No date, except on the back reads "In place of our CIty Hotel--now 1929." May indeed be from 1929: The automobiles in the picture are of that vintage.
