====== Florence Hotel (BE 184) ====== The Florence Hotel Located on the former Covington-Lexington Turnpike, the Florence Hotel was one of two [[hotels|hostelries]] operating in [[Florence]] during the second half of the 19th century. (The other was the [[Southern Hotel]], which has since been demolished.) It later housed the Florence post office. The hotel is L-shaped in plan; the gabled forward block was designed as a storefront, with transomed, fixed-pane windows on either side of a central door. The ctross-gabled roof features stickwork braces. The recessed lateral wing originally was equipped with a one-story porch, since removed, and the doorways have been altered. The building was added to the [[National Register]] in 1989. ===== More Information ===== ==== Related websites ==== * National Register Information (PDFs), [[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail?assetID=922bc3ee-fc11-4154-8b5c-055e5a99f906|inventory form and photos]]
