Description:
When Liverpool-based ships were moored on the nearby river, this building stored massive amounts of cotton produced by upriver plantations. After the boll weevil decimated the cotton industry, it functioned as an icehouse, a storage area for fresh vegetables, and the headquarters of an insurance company. Its two lowest floors, built in 1817, were made of ballast stones carried in the holds of ships from faraway England. The building was later converted into some of the most comfortable and well-managed hotel rooms in town. In 2007, the owners poured nearly $2.5 million into renovations, as part of an ongoing effort to keep this charming, well-located inn a viable competitor. If night-crawls among the bars and restaurants of River Street are a priority, there is no other hotel better positioned than this one.
