Destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of Thursday, May 11, 1922 following a dance that some young people from Princeton were permitted to have on Wednesday night although the hotel had not yet opened for the 1922 season. Mrs. W. B. Crawford of Bluefield was to have taken over control of the hotel on the morning of the fire.
