Caption: Watauga Hotel
Additional Description: Built in 1888, it stood on Main Street where Memorial Park is now located. An early 1900s fire destroyed the main building, but it was quickly rebuilt on the same foundation and renamed the Watauga Inn. A second fire, in 1926, also destroyed the main building but it was never rebuilt. The site remained unused until 1939, when the town acquired it for a park.
