Summary
Constructed in 1917, the Hartington Hotel is located in Hartington. It is significant for its association with the commercial development of the town and with the building boom of second-generation hotels that was occurring statewide during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The hotels built during this period, as exemplified by the Hartington, were multi-floor brick buildings that offered the most modern conveniences and catered especially to the businessmen who traveled on the railroad. Aside from providing pleasant quarters for travelers, the new hotels became the symbol of a prospering community with a bright future. It is within this context that the importance of the Hartington Hotel is realized.
