Summary
The Harder Hotel, constructed in 1901 in Scribner, is significant for its association with the commercial development of the town and as a very early manifestation of the building boom of second generation hotels that was occurring statewide during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The hotels built during this period, as exemplified by the Harder, were multi-floor, brick buildings that offered the most "modern" conveniences and catered especially to the businessmen that traveled via railroad. The Harder Hotel is especially interesting because it was built right at the turn of the century and contrasted sharply with what appears to be the only other hotel in the town; a first generation hotel of wood frame construction with limited facilities.
