The Commercial Hotel in Verdigre, Nebraska, also known as the Verdigre Hotel, is a hotel built in 1900 without indoor plumbing and without gas or electricity, but rather with use of kerosene lamps for lighting. With Verdigre the end of a railroad line and the hub of hog drives, the town needed more hotel space than was supplied by two hotels built previously. [2]

The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. [1] It was deemed to be an "excellent representative of first generation hotels, built between 1854 and 1900" in Nebraska. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hotel Row</span> United States historic place

Hotel Row is both a National Register and locally listed historic district consisting of one block of early 20th-century commercial buildings, three to four stories high, located on Mitchell Street west of Forsyth Street in the South Downtown district of Atlanta. The buildings were originally hotels with ground level retail shops built to serve the needs of passengers from Terminal Station, opened in 1905. The buildings are the most intact row of early 20th-century commercial structures in Atlanta's original business district. The decline of Hotel Row began in the 1920s due to the increased availability of automobile transportation and the construction of the Spring Street viaduct, which made getting to hotels in the northern part of the city easier. In the 1950s and 1960s, the increase in air travel led ultimately to the demolition of Terminal Station in 1971.
