Old Southern Hotel Building. J. W. Owen had this hotel building constructed about 1880. Originally a two-story structure, it was built by stonemasons J. K. Finlay and John Goodman. The third floor was added during the ownership of Col. W. A. H. Miller, who bought the property in 1883. An annex to the west side of the building, now removed, provided space for a lobby, kitchen, and dining area. Later operated as the Colonial Inn, the business closed during the 1950s.
