Bon Ton Hotel (Pitkin Hotel)

Constructed in 1904, the vernacular masonry building features elements of the commercial style, including a recessed entrance, clerestory windows, and a transom window above the door.  The hotel has undergone some exterior and interior alterations since its construction.  In 1981, a new owner began operating under the name "Pitkin Hotel."
