Inscription. At its completion in 1923, the Albemarle Hotel boasted sixty rooms, all of which had telephone service and at least a half bath, The hotel included a ballroom, a dining room, and a spacious lobby. Thanks to owner W.C. Fitzgerald, the hotel replaced the old Central Hotel as the town's center for social activities and civic club meetings. The building was used as a hotel until the 1960's when it became a boarding house. During 2022 the building was renovated, and the once proud hotel now is an apartment building.
