History

Louis Schauder built the hotel in 1876. At the time it was one of five hotels in a two-block section of West Front Street (now West River Drive). Schauder also operated the neighboring Perry Hotel. A saloon and music hall operated in the hotel by the 1880s. The hotel continued in operation until the turn of the 20th-century.[2] Eventually the building was acquired by the Petersen, Harned, and Von Maur department store and used for storage. It, along with the neighboring Clifton-Metropolitan Hotel, the J.H.C. Petersen's Sons Wholesale Building and the Schick's Express and Transfer Co., were torn down to make way for a public parking structure and the Davenport Skybridge. It was delisted from the National Register in 2014.[3]

Architecture

The three-story commercial building featured a four-bay facade above the ground floor. The tall, narrow windows with the decorative window hoods on the second and third floors expressed the Italianate style. The ground floor had been updated in later years and the original cornice was either partially removed or replaced.[2]

gollark: Yeeees.
gollark: This produces substantially better results.
gollark: As I said, I am doing "semantic search". Instead of: page → tokenizer → stemmer → inverted index insert and query → tokenizer → stemmer → inverted index lookup it does page → tokenizer → magic neural network → store vector and query → tokenizer → magic neural network → compute cosine similarity of query and all sentence vectors.
gollark: minoteaur-py is to incorporate:- slightly tweaked data model- cooler search- worse performance
gollark: Surprisingly, no.
