For our first entry of 2023, we take a brief look into the old West, the mining boom of the late 19th century, and a little town with a big history. Grab your trusty steed and saddle up! This week, we visit Tonopah, Nevada’s Mizpah Hotel.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">The Town</span><br /> While admiring the Mojave Desert, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would want to put down their roots in a place so inhospitable. Yet in the mid-1800s, a movement was pulling people to just these sorts of places. The promises of riches, a new life, and freedom seemed out there for the taking. And so people were flooding en masse out West for the treasures hidden in the hills of the coast.</p> <p>Dotted across California and Nevada, small towns cropped up to support the efforts of hard-working miners. One such settlement that cropped up in this way was the town of Tonopah.</p> <p>A Shoshone word, meaning something along the lines of “greasewood water,” Tonopah began with the discovery of a silver-rich ore vein after prospector Jim Butler angrily grabbed a rock, intending to throw it at his sleeping mule. When Mr. Butler realized how oddly heavy the rock was, he saw that he was holding a clutch of shiny-silvery stone, and his mule was sleeping on the beginning of one of the richest silver finds in the history of Nevada.</p> <p>From this discovery, Tonopah sprouted up from the desert and quickly became a point of interest. Tonopah attracted a fair amount of attention from notable luminaries of the age such as lawman Wyatt Earp, business magnate Howard Hughes, and heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey. In time, a hotel was built by some of the most successful real estate developers in the state. Designed by Reno’s George Holesworth, the five-story destination was called the Mizpah Hotel, and it was the tallest building in all of Nevada.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">The Hotel</span><br /> With its own bar and one of the first elevators in Nevada, the Mizpah Hotel was considered an opulent respite for travelers and, in time, a destination for gamblers. By the 1940s, the hotel featured a roulette wheel, slot machines, and a craps table. The Mizpah Hotel would have a connection with one vice or another throughout its entire lifespan.</p> <p>With its granite walls and Victorian-inspired decor, the Mizpah Hotel passed through many hands, but has kept its historic look while being adapted with modern amenities. Though the location has a wealth of history, perhaps its most well-known designation today is as “the most haunted hotel in the United States.”</p> <p>On the hotel grounds (and in its surroundings) many reports of spirits and specters have built up over the years, some whose identities have been attached to famous figures and others who have remained a mystery. As the legend goes, Senator Key Pittman died on the hotel’s premises just before his 1940 election and was kept on ice in one of the hotel bathroom’s bathtubs until his body could be transported. Some claim that the Senator never checked out of the Mizpah, attributing him to any number of ghostly sightings.</p> <p>Other than Pittman, there are stories of phantom children occupying the upper floors, laughing and playing pranks on hotel patrons. A silent soldier also roams the grounds, nameless and mysterious. Still, folklore tells of a few spirits with a bit more of a backstory, though their histories have not been confirmed.</p> <p>The basement is said to house two bank robbers, betrayed by their third partner during their heist which resulted in their deaths. They are said to be responsible for the unsettling feelings common in the lower floors, as well as the odd sounds frequently reported in the area. Perhaps most tragically, there is also the Red Woman, a spirit referred to as “Rose” who is rumored to be a former escort, murdered by a spurned customer. Rose, in particular, has been lovingly adopted by the Mizpah Hotel’s current owners, with her own “Lady in Red” room available for booking.</p> <p>Tonopah is quite the interesting anomaly today, with enough urban legends and folklore to make it a satisfying stop on any road trip. The town also features a <a class="color-secondary" href="https://www.tonopahminingpark.com/general-information/" target="_blank">historic mining park</a>, where you can enjoy a self-guided tour, and <a class="color-secondary" href="https://www.theclownmotelusa.com/" target="_blank">a clown motel</a> (in case the ghosts up the street weren’t enough of a fright).</p> <p><em>To book a night in the historic Mizpah Hotel, <a class="color-secondary" href="https://www.themizpahhotel.com/" target="_blank">visit their website</a> and schedule your visit today!

Located in downtown Oklahoma City, the 14th floor hotel is equal parts colossal and luxurious. As beautifully crafted as the Skirvin is, it’s the dark history of the building that really captivates guests.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">The Start of the Skirvin </span><br /> The Skirvin Hotel was the ambitious dream of wealthy oilman W.B. Skirvin. Enlisting the help of local architect Solomon A. Layton, Skirvin worked tirelessly to bring his dream to life. Originally the hotel was designed to be two separate six story towers, but Layton and Skirvin wanted to go bigger. They settled on ten floors to keep up with Oklahoma City’s population boom. Upon completion in 1911, the Skirvin Hotel boasted 225 rooms, air conditioning, a ballroom, and stunning Austrian chandeliers. 15 years later, a third 13th floor tower was added. All three towers were then built up to 14 floors in 1930.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">W.B. Skirvin and Scandal </span><br /> During the Prohibition era, the Skirvin Hotel doubled as a speakeasy and was one of the most popular spots around. However, this wasn’t the most controversial happening inside the hotel. According to reports, W.B. Skirvin had an affair with a maid, “Effie.” To keep her a secret, Skirvin locked her in a room on the 10th floor. Effie later gave birth to a child and the two stayed in the room for days on end. The isolation began to take its toll on Effie, and she eventually leapt out the room’s window with her child, landing on the pavement below.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Hard Times Befall the Hotel </span><br /> After W.B Skirvin, the hotel exchanged hands numerous times. Skirvin kept trying to make his hotel the most extravagant location, but his finances couldn’t keep up, especially after the Great Depression. In 1945, the building was sold to Dan W. James who owned several other luxury hotels. James faced a multitude of problems in post-war America, but like Skirvin before him, James kept working to upgrade the hotel. He put in a pool, implemented unique amenities, and held various conventions. Yet in 1963, the combination of new, more comfortable travel choices and trends that attracted people away from downtown OKC forced James to sell. The next few lines of ownership would continually face the same challenges, along with the multimillion-dollar demands of modernizing the Skirvin. In 1988, the Skirvin became bankrupt and would sit empty for the next two decades.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Cryptid Clients </span><br /> Famous guests from NBA stars to former presidents have all stayed at the Skirvin, though some haven’t made it through the night. There have been multiple reports of unexplained activity in the hotel. Objects will move out of the corner of your eye when no one else is there. There are also reports of a woman whispering throughout the hotel and a young child crying. Sometimes the faint apparition of Effie will appear before vanishing shortly after. The flurry of activity has given even the most steel-nerved athletes a reason to check out early.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Visit the Skirvin! </span><br /> Today, the Skirvin Hotel is one of Oklahoma City’s premier accommodations There are over 500 rooms to choose from, and it’s perfect for any event. <a class="color-secondary" href="https://www.skirvinhilton.com/" target="_blank">Reserve your room today</a>!</p> <p><em>For all your commercial inspection needs, <a class="color-secondary" href="https://npicommercial.com/contact">contact National Property Inspections today</a>!</em></p> <p><em>Photo by <a class="color-secondary" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rutlo/" target="_blank">Matthew Rutledge</a>, licensed under <a class="color-secondary" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank">CC BY 2.0</a></em></p> 1307Haunted Places Series: King’s Tavernhttps://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/PostId/1300/haunted-places-series-kings-tavernCommercial Real Estate NewsWed, 06 Oct 2021 20:38:00 GMT<p><span style="font-size:26px;"><strong><span style="line-height: 1;">HAUNTED PLACES SERIES: KING’S TAVERN</span></strong></span><br /> <em class="fa fa-calendar"></em> October 6, 2021 | <em class="fa fa-folder-open"></em> <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts?Category=commercial-real-estate-news">CRE News</a> | <em class="fa fa-tags"></em> <a href="https://npicommercial.com/Blog/Posts/Tag/just-for-fun">just for fun</a>, <a href="https://npicommercial.com/Blog/Posts/Tag/hotel">hotel</a>, <a href="https://npicommercial.com/Blog/Posts/Tag/haunted-places-series">Haunted Places Series</a></p> <p><span class="emphasis-primary">Location:</span> Natchez, Mississippi<br /> <span class="emphasis-primary">Architectural Style:</span> American Colonial<br /> <span class="emphasis-primary">Built:</span> 1769</p> <p>As we begin a new fall season, it’s time for us to dust off our Haunted Places series! We’re ready to embark on another terrifying trip to the most active locations in the United States and Canada. To kick things off, we’re going south to one of the oldest buildings in Mississippi. Having been around for more than 250 years, this spot has seen its fair share of misfortune.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">King’s Tavern and Pre-Revolutionary America </span><br /> One of the oldest buildings in Mississippi, King’s Tavern was completed in 1769, though it wasn’t a tavern at that time. The building was originally meant to serve as a block house for the nearby British outpost Fort Panmure. Block houses were typically used as an observation point to defend the fort. King's Tavern was constructed out of recycled beams from dismantled ships and sun-dried bricks. The British would hold the block house until the area was claimed by the American colonies after the Revolutionary War.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Post-Revolutionary War </span><br /> After the British were ousted by the American Army, the river port city of Natchez was open for business. In 1789, Richard King of New York moved with his family to the city and bought the block home. King renovated the block house into a tavern and inn, and used it as a makeshift postal office. King’s Tavern became a bustling meeting spot, turning King and his wife into local celebrities.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Bad Business </span><br /> While the Kings enjoyed their high social status, the company they kept in their tavern usually led more of a degenerate lifestyle. Being a port town, many expensive goods would flow in and out of Natchez on a frequent basis. This made it a prime target for outlaws to hold up the sailors and other travelers. After a night at the tavern, bandits would make their play on the inebriated tourists, oftentimes resulting in murder. The most famous of these groups was the Harpe brothers, believed to be America’s first serial killers. The Harpes would frequently torture their victims before robbing and killing them.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Life Bypasses Natchez </span><br /> With the advancements in river travel, i.e. the steamboat, travelers could go further distances in less time, riding in comfort. This meant that stops at Natchez and King’s Tavern began to slowly dwindle. The drop in business put a strain on Richard King, and he ultimately sold the tavern in 1817. In 1823, a family by the name of Postalwaith acquired the building and turned it into their private home. Then in 1973, a local investor re-opened King’s Tavern as a tavern/restaurant, and new ownership took over in 2013.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Disturbed Souls at King’s Tavern </span><br /> Being a hotspot for the local ne'er-do-well populus, many unsettling discoveries have been made in and around King’s Tavern. During renovations in the 1930s, three mummified bodies were unearthed in the chimney, along with a jeweled dagger. Two of the bodies are thought to be victims of the Harpe brothers, but a third female skeleton is believed to be that of Mr. King’s mistress, Madeline. Mrs. King, after hearing about the affair, is said to have killed Madeline and enclosed her in the tavern walls. The tavern was also the site of the tragic death of a child.</p> <div><img src="https://npicommercial.com/Portals/npicom/Assets/Blog/2021/Haunted Places/kings-tavern-inside.jpg?ver=l4gyvRdK9uDABQIXT2y5SA%3d%3d" style="margin-bottom: 20px" width="100%" /></div> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Residual Effects </span><br /> The tumultuous past of King’s Tavern can still be felt to this day. Madeline is thought to be the main source of the activity. A woman’s footprints will appear on the floor, an apparition appears then quickly vanishes, jars will be knocked off shelves, and doors open and close when her name is mentioned. Even an EVP of her voice has been captured. A child’s cry can also be heard on the upstairs floor of the house when no one is there. Along with these two spirits, a sinister one roams the tavern. Identified as a man with a top hat, it’s unsure if the specter is that of a victim or a former outlaw, specifically Wiley Harpe. Guests report the sensation of being strangled or a general heavy feeling while on the property. Dishes have also been thrown around, and the face of the man will sometimes manifest in the upstairs bedroom mirror. Many shadow figures have been reported, and the fireplace where the bodies were found will emit heat when it’s been dormant.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">King’s Tavern Today </span><br /> King’s Tavern and its reputation have been featured on various ghost hunting shows. It’s been a must-see destination for those vacationing in the area for many years. However after the past year, King’s Tavern closed--the building is currently for sale.</p> <p>For all your commercial inspection needs, <a class="color-secondary" href="https://npicommercial.com/contact">contact National Property Inspections</a> today!</p> <p><em>Photos by <a class="color-secondary" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/texasbackroads/" target="_blank">Nicolas Henderson</a>, licensed under <a class="color-secondary" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank">CC BY 2.0</a></em></p> 1300Haunted Places Series: Fairmont Le Château Frontenachttps://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/PostId/887/haunted-places-series-fairmont-le-chteau-frontenacCommercial Real Estate NewsWed, 28 Oct 2020 17:31:00 GMT<p><span style="font-size:26px;"><strong><span style="line-height: 1;">HAUNTED PLACES SERIES: FAIRMONT LE Château FRONTENAC </span></strong></span><br /> <em class="fa fa-calendar"></em> October 28, 2020 | <em class="fa fa-folder-open"></em> <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts?Category=commercial-real-estate-news">CRE News</a> | <em class="fa fa-tags"></em> <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/Tag/hotel">hotel</a>, <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/Tag/just-for-fun">just for fun</a>, <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/Posts/Tag/haunted-places-series">Haunted Places Series</a></p> <p><span class="emphasis-primary">Location:</span> Quebec City, Quebec<br /> <span class="emphasis-primary">Architectural Style:</span> Châteauesque<br /> <span class="emphasis-primary">Built:</span> 1893</p> <p>For the next installment of our <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/Posts/Tag/haunted-places-series">Haunted Places Series</a>, we’ll be heading to one of the oldest European cities in North America. Quebec City in Canada sits along the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, and is home to the grand Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Called “One of the most photographed hotels in the world,” the Fairmont dominates Quebec City’s skyline. But while taking photos on your trip, you may notice something rather odd.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Restoration and the Railroad </span><br /> Beginning in the late 1870s, Quebec saw a resurgence of French architecture in an attempt to restore the province to its 17th century look. One of these projects involved the reconstruction of the Château Saint-Louis, where the Fairmont now stands. Initial funding for the Château by the City Council and the Board of Trade quickly ran out, and several railroad businessmen from the surrounding cities took control. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac would be one in a series of tourism hotels built by the Canadian Pacific Railway during the late 1800s and early 1900s.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">A Majestic Maze </span><br /> The 18-floor interior of the Fairmont is just as ornate as its exterior. In total there are 611 guest rooms in the hotel, including eight executive suites. These suites bear the names of many famous guests from Queen Elizabeth II to Celine Dion. Currently, four different restaurants operate within the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. There’s also a pool, fitness center, an outdoor terrace and even a rooftop garden where honey is harvested from the almost 70,000 honey bees.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">The Quebec Conferences </span><br /> A number of foreign diplomats have stayed at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac since its construction. During World War II, allied officials convened at the Fairmont to discuss their plan to defeat the Axis Powers. Winston Churchill, FDR and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King would visit the Fairmont for the First and Second Quebec Conferences from 1943-1944.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">The Spirit of Louis de Buade de Frontenac </span><br /> The new Château sits on the previous home of the Governor General of New France, Louis de Buade de Frontenac. Frontenac, the hotel’s namesake, was married to Anne de La Grange while in France, and waited for his wife to join him in New France. Sadly, Louis died of an illness before he would see Anne again. Now it seems that Louis is still wandering the halls of the Fairmont, waiting for his beloved. He’s been spotted on the second floor, staring longingly out the windows and quickly disappearing without a trace.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Woman in White </span><br /> Another permanent resident of the Fairmont is a bit more active with guests. Not many details are known about this mystery woman, except that she can be seen in a white nightgown. She’s been said to surprise guests in their sleep, oftentimes sitting on their bed, watching them doze off. Although she won’t do you any harm, you may still want to keep your feet under the covers.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Visit the Fairmont </span><br /> The Fairmont offers a little bit of something for everyone. <a href="https://www.fairmont.com/frontenac-quebec/" target="_blank">Book your stay</a> and experience an elegant piece of history today!</p> 887Haunted Places Series: Hotel Monte Vistahttps://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/PostId/884/haunted-places-series-hotel-monte-vistaCommercial Real Estate NewsTue, 20 Oct 2020 15:25:00 GMT<p><span style="font-size:26px;"><strong><span style="line-height: 1;">HAUNTED PLACES SERIES: HOTEL MONTE VISTA</span></strong></span><br /> <em class="fa fa-calendar"></em> October 20, 2020 | <em class="fa fa-folder-open"></em> <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts?Category=commercial-real-estate-news">CRE News</a> | <em class="fa fa-tags"></em> <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/Tag/hotel">hotel</a>, <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/posts/Tag/just-for-fun">just for fun</a>, <a href="https://npicommercial.com/blog/Posts/Tag/haunted-places-series">Haunted Places Series</a></p> <p><span class="emphasis-primary">Location:</span> Flagstaff, Arizona<br /> <span class="emphasis-primary">Architectural Style:</span> Italian Renaissance<br /> <span class="emphasis-primary">Built:</span> 1927</p> <p>In the spirit of Halloween, we’re taking a look at some of the most haunted locations in the U.S. and Canada. Today, we’ll be venturing to the American Southwest and the home of the Grand Canyon-- Arizona. Located along the famed Route 66 in Flagstaff sits the historic Hotel Monte Vista, where some of the guests will be having an extended stay.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Flagstaff Becomes a Tourist Hotspot </span><br /> With the completion of the extensive U.S. Route 66, Flagstaff soon found itself flooded with travelers bound for the Midwest. The citizens realized that the lodging they had was outdated and wanted a modern place that would attract more visitors. They quickly pooled together the money they had, and came up with almost $200,000 (worth nearly $3 million today). On New Year’s Day in 1927, the grand 73-room hotel opened its doors for business.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Prohibition and the Monte Vista </span><br /> Like many other major cities in the U.S. during the 1920’s and 30’s, Flagstaff played a role in the battle against Prohibition. The Cocktail Lounge began as a speakeasy in the Monte Vista, under the facade of a newspaper publisher. Local rumor says that the small bootlegging outfit turned into a major operation before being shut down in 1931.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Stars in the Southwest </span><br /> The Monte Vista has been the choice resort for many of Hollywood's big names since the mid-20th Century. Celebrities such as Bing Crosby, Zane Gray, John Wayne, Jane Russell, Bob Hope, Michael J. Fox, Siouxsie Sioux, Esther Williams and more have checked into the Monte Vista. In fact, the hotel itself has also appeared in iconic movies like Casablanca and Forrest Gump.</p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Hauntings at the Hotel </span><br /> There’s no shortage of paranormal activity at the Monte Vista. Guests have reported sights and sounds throughout the building, turning many skeptics into believers.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Room 220: </strong>Known as “The Meat Man,” this peculiar former guest would hang raw meat from the room’s chandelier. Reports have stated that the TV will turn itself on randomly and people feel the touch of a cold hand in their bed. </li> <li><strong>Room 305: </strong>This is the most haunted room in the Monte Vista, said to be inhabited by the spirit of an elderly woman. Guests have noticed her apparition in the window, slowly rocking the chair back and forth. </li> <li><strong>Room 306:</strong> Presumed to be the ghosts of two murdered prostitutes, the activity in this room is less than inviting. Visitors, especially male, have said they wake up in the night with the feeling of being watched, oftentimes accompanied by the sensation of being strangled. </li> <li><strong>Phantom Bellboy: </strong>Another active haunting involves visitors and staff seeing a bellboy roaming the halls, sometimes knocking on doors and saying “Room service.” Even John Wayne encountered the specter during one of his stays. </li> <li><strong>The Baby: </strong>In the Monte Vista’s basement, staff have repeatedly heard the cries of a baby. </li> <li><strong>Dancing Couple: </strong>Staff and guests have regularly sighted a gleeful couple dancing the night away in the Cocktail Lounge. </li> <li><strong>The Robber:</strong> In 1970, a bank robber died in the Monte Vista’s bar after being shot. Now, people have seen bar items move around and have been greeted by a disembodied “Good Morning!”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span class="emphasis-secondary">Visit the Monte Vista </span><br /> Today the Monte Vista is a wonderful retreat filled with fine dining and lively entertainment.
