Description

The building occupies a footprint of approximately 60 by 98 feet (18 by 30 m). [2] The nomination describes it as unusual for having two projecting corner towers on its primary facade: one circular, with Romanesque Revival styling, and one rectangular. [2] The circular tower was formerly topped with a domed roof and the rectangular tower with a hipped roof; both roof elements were removed in 1970. [2]

The hotel stands near the Tipton County Courthouse, on the courthouse-square block. [2]
