Regarding The Alexander Hotel. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Alexander Hotel built In 1892,is historically significant in the areas of architecture, commerce and local history. Architecturally, the hotel is a rare remaining example of a small, wood late-nineteenth century Victorian Eclectic hotel in Georgia. In terms of commercial history the hotel is a good example of the small hotels established in Georgia’s County seats to serve people in town for county government business. In terms of local history the hotel is significant as the home of Dr. Orlando L. Alexander, a prominent local physician, and his family, who built and managed the hotel and resided there for many years.
