The Beaufort—It Is to Be Four Stories High.
The managers of the Hotel Beaufort, Messrs. Star and Harrison, will erect a new hotel on Third street opposite the post office building, which will be called the Beaufort. It will be ready for business, in place of the old house of the same name, about Aug. 1.
The new hotel will be erected by Ladd & Nickels for the owner of the property. They will build an addition in the rear about 75×57, and four stories high, to correspond with the width and height of the present structure. The new hotel will have steam heat, elevator service and other modern improvements. The total number of rooms will be about 125, and the cost of the addition and other improvements will be $50,000. It has already been leased for five years at a good rental.
