This hotel, erected by the Maine-born innkeeper Walter A. Shorey (1853-1903) in 1888-1889, stood on the northeast corner of Fremont Avenue North and North 34th Street. It stood two stories tall, with a covered, wraparound front porch and a balcony above for second floor rooms. The porch posts had ornamental brackets at the upper corners and an ornate balustrade trimmed the upper porch. A mansard roof covered the building with decorative carved supports under the eaves. Millworkers at the nearby lumber companies--most notably the Bryant Lumber Mill--often lodged here. It later was operated as the Hotel Dixon.
Demolished. The McKenzie Building later occupied this site.
