Summary
The Commercial Hotel, constructed in 1900 in Verdigre, is an excellent representative of first generation hotels built between 1854 and 1900. The hotels constructed during this period were typically two-story frame buildings without "modern" conveniences, such as indoor plumbing and gas or electric lighting. In many instances these buildings were constructed in anticipation of the railroad passing through the community, or in response to business activity that resulted from an existing railroad line.
