Built in the 1880s, with a capacity of 150 rooms, it was known as one of the town’s classiest and most up-to-date accommodations. With a built-in pool room, barber shop, and bar, and later featuring steam heat in every room, as well as hot and cold water connections and baths, the Queen’s quite rightly deserved the moniker “the best $1.50 a day hotel in town”. Today the site is the location of a contractor’s storage yard.
