The Masseth House, an 1874 Italianate style hotel features round-headed windows on the building front and a heavy, double bracketed cornice. Evidence of the original two story veranda remains. Known as the railroad hotel, the Masseth House provided lodging to traveling salesmen. The ladder arch in the above photograph was constructed for a 1879 regional firemen’s celebration. In later years the Masseth House was renamed the Imperial Hotel. It is currently owned by the Elks Lodge 1844, which is working to preserve this historic landmark.
