The Vail Hotel

We liked this shot reflecting Memorial Hall across the street to introduce you to this historical building.
We have to start at the front door of this magnificent downtown building. This shot was chosen so you can see the oak doors up close. We will focus on the more beautiful aspects in another post, as you can see there was some original stained glass work done to the top of the door that needs to be shown off. If you back up across the street the beauty of this sort of Victorian style building comes to life. It was built in 1910, and at the time, considered to be the the most modern hotel this side of Chicago. Yes, it is on the National Historic Register. And yes, just as you might think- it rumored to be haunted. (Click here for footage by Ghost Adventures). For now though, its a retirement home. Perhaps that is fitting, yes?
