Constructed in 1890, this building first housed the retail furniture store of James Caffrey and Samuel Davis, partners in Caffrey & Davis, who operated here until 1907, when Walter and Herbert Robinson purchased it. With their brothers, they formed the Robinson Brothers Music Co., selling furniture and musical merchandise. In 1921, Laura Senior bought the building, and the Senior family added a rear addition with a second story and operated a confectionary, cafe, hotel, and billiard hall. Through most of the 1930s, the Senior Hotel was one of three hotels operating in Springville. After Laura's death, title passed in 1931 to her son Oliver, who lived here with his second wife, Priscilla, and his children, Max and Jaqueline. Max, Oliver's son by his first marriage, worked as hotel clerk and later manager. The hotel and its associated tourist court behind the building remained a family-owned and operated venture through the 1960s, closed in the 1980s, and afterward the building stood vacant until Bradley and Elizabeth Petersen purchased it in May 1995 and began an extensive restoration project to preserve it and return it to use.
