Original Arcade Hotel

Original Arcade Hotel
(Pardon the selfie.) Photo was taken in the 1920s. This building has been vacant for a very long time. In the late '50s, my grandmother took me here for lunch and it was still a functioning hotel. I thought it was very fancy! I even remember what I ate: a hot turkey sandwich. That's white bread (of course) topped with two slices of turkey and slathered in turkey gravy. Probably a Coke to drink.
