| Notes | Originally called the Reed Springs Hotel and built in 1888 because of the mineral springs located there. In 1891 Willard E. Winner, well known promoter, bought the property and changed the name to the Winner Hotel. In 1895, the hotel was purchased by the Odd Fellows as a home for widows and orphans of the members. Five years later the home was destroyed by fire and then rebuilt. |
