The earliest hotels in Macomb were taverns where weary travelers could quench their thirst or spend the night in upstairs rooms. In 1850, A.V. Brooking bought George Head's Tavern at this location and operated it as the McDonough House. Stagecoach lines had been running through Macomb for a decade, and the McDonough House was a regular stop.
