The Tretheway Block - Argonaut Hotel is a building whose flamboyancy is described as unique to the valley. Its unusual interpretation of the Queen Anne style suggests Romanesque and Moorish influence, and its façade is embellished with cast zinc floral patterns and sandstone. The structure was originally a hotel, with a hardware store on the ground floor, and it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
