Year Built: 1915
Architect:  J. G. Cordner

An early settler’s cottonwood-timber house stood on this site from 1867 to 1915.  Due to its proximity to the railroad depot, the house became a hotel in 1871, operating under the names Midland Pacific, National, and Mooney’s.  John Bennett’s new brick hotel, which included a restaurant on the ground floor and thirty small guest rooms above, cost about $20,000 to build in 1915.  Its century-old functions did not change until the building’s handsome rehabilitation in 1984-85.  ‘Haymarket Junction, ’  a collection of retail shops, was designed by architect Rich Reeves.
