Makemson Hotel Building
Historical Maker text
Built about 1870 by M.E. Steele on the site of an early log hotel,
this is one of Georgetown's oldest commercial structures. During
Steele's ownership it housed a mercantile and a bank. Emma Dickman
Makemson later operated a hotel here from the early 1900s until
1924. Exhibiting influences of the Italianate style, the building
features a truncated roof, corner entry, ornate frieze below the
roofline, and finely crafted stonework
