On this site the Washington Hotel was built in 1831. In 1895 it was torn down and replaced with a four story brick structure, the Hotel Grand, seen in this circa 1908 photo. The Hotel Grand was destroyed by fire on March 8, 1932. The Post Office was located in the building at the time of the fire and employees were retrieving records and mail from the office as the fire blazed. This new post office building was dedicated for use in June of 1936.
