Silver King Florence Hotel
Built in 1876 for William Long, a partner in the Silver King Mine. Originally an unplastered, L-shaped adobe with gabled roof, the Silver King was renamed the Florence Hotel in 1890. Fire destroyed a portion of the hotel which was replaced by the two-story fired brick east wing about 1895. A covered arcade was later attached to the east wing, and a second story added to the west wing in 1917.
The Florence Hotel was a social focal point, offering the finest in dining and accommodations.
