The Hotel itself speaks much about the town and its history. In 1975, R.O. Peterson purchased the run-down hotel and retained a cadre of designers and local artisans and crafsmen to authentically restore it. Mr. Peterson gave the designers carte blanche to purchase as many period antiques as they felt wre necessary to give the Hotel the right atmosphere. They employ approximately 85 people, year round. Within the last 12 months 10 employees have been promoted.
Dinner can be very pleasant.
Desserts tend to be all-American and irresistable. We were won over by the individual deep-dish pies. Lunch is very popular and brings forth an appealing roster of dishes. Another welcome change is the wine list. Property Statistics Year built 1878 Last year renovated 1975 Number of rooms 51 Meeting rooms 1 Sq.
