Silver King Florence Hotel

Built in 1876 for William Long, a partner in the Silver King Mine, this hotel began as an unplastered, L-shaped adobe with a gabled roof. It was renamed the Florence Hotel in 1890. After fire destroyed a portion of the hotel, a two-story fired brick east wing replaced it about 1895. A covered arcade was later attached to the east wing, and a second story was added to the west wing in 1917. The Florence Hotel became a social focal point, offering the finest in dining and accommodations, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
