Constructed in 1909, Hotel Brunswick was built by prominent businessmen, John Mulligan and J. W. Thompson. Kingman's first three story building, constructed of local quarried tufa stone, featured 50 cowboy rooms with shared bath facilities, a dining room with service bar. It was reputed for its service using Waterford Crystal and solid brass beds in all rooms. Kingman's Andy Devine spent his childhood in and around the Brunswick. Today the Brunswick is one of Kingman's finer dining establishments.
