Kennedy Building
Baker City Historic District
—Established 1874 —
DeRoo sold the hotel soon after it was built. Subsequent owners added a third story to the building and renamed it the Arlington.
The Arlington was demolished and the three-story Kennedy Building was built on the lot about 1900. The Kennedy later was substantially altered by the removal of the upper two stories and infilling of first floor windows and doors. The interior was opened to the adjacent building to the north.
